After successful completion of the course, students are able to

• describe important concepts of a modern programming language
• convert content of natural language programming tasks into executable small programs
• apply practices and tools during the implementation of small programms
• implement and analyze selected algorithms

The following topics are covered in this course:

• Procedural programming concepts (variables, data types, operators, branching, loops, arrays, subroutines)
• Input/Output
• Recursion
• Basic algorithms (searching, sorting)
• Fundamental development methods (procedural abstraction, checking correctness, debugging) and programming tools inclusive a development environment.

Java is used as programming language.

• Lectures with discussions (live stream in TUWEL, recorded lectures in LectureTube)
• Exercise sheets as a preparation for labs
• Discussion of the tasks solved and feedback on them in the exercises (if online, then in ZOOM)
• Tests
• Placement test for competence level 2 and 3 (voluntary)
• 3 tests with repetition option

Preliminary lecture: Thursday, October 3, from 00:15 p.m. - 2:00 p.m.

Lectures

• On Tuesday, 12:00 a.m. - 02:00 p.m. (c.t.),Thursday, 12:00 a.m. - 02:00 p.m. (c.t.) and Friday 12:00 a.m. - 02:00 p.m. (c.t.).
• Live stream in TUWEL
• Recorded and archived in TUWEL (1-3 days after the corresponding lecture).

Placement tests:

• Voluntary tests on October 2 (Competence Level 2) and October 9 (Competence Level 3).
• Admission to a practice group in Competence Level 2 will occur if >= 80% of the points are achieved on the test for Competence Level 2.
• A positive test at competency level 3 will result in completion of the LVA

Workload estimation (ECTS Breakdown): 137.5 hours = 5.5 ECTS

• lecture (VO) attendance (50 hours)
• laboratory (UE) attendance (14.5 hours)
• homework exercises (48 hours)
• exercise and test preparation, tests (25 hours)

All information, documents and exercises will be available on the TUWEL platform of the course.

The TUWEL course will be available starting September 16. Information about the voluntary placement tests will also be available in TUWEL from September 16.

The grading will be based on the following performances:

• Competence level 1 (max. 100 points)
• Participation in the first two lab exercises (max. 2 points)
• Discussion and evaluation of 6 task sheets in the feedback exercises (max. 38 points)
• 1st test, 2 dates are offered and the better result is counted (max. 10 points)
• 2nd test, 2 dates are offered and the better result is counted (max. 20 points)
• 3rd test, 2 dates are offered and the better result is counted (max. 30 points)
• Competence level 2 (max. 100 points)
• Placement test for competence level 2 (max. 25 points)
• Discussion and evaluation of 4 task sheets in the feedback exercises (max. 25 points)
• 2nd test, 2 dates are offered and the better result is counted (max. 20 points)
• 3rd test, 2 dates are offered and the better result is counted (max. 30 points)
• Competence level 3 (max. 100 points)
• Placement test for competence level 2 (positive completion as a prerequisite for the K3 test)
• Placement test for competence level 3 (max. 100 points)
• Note: The placement test for competence level 3 tests the entire subject matter of the course

Notes:

• A maximum of 2 missed exercises can be made up in the tutorials.
• The placement test for competence level 3 tests the entire content of the course.
• There are no minimum requirements for the points on the task sheets.
• In the 1st, 2nd and 3rd tests, 50% or more must be achieved in each case, otherwise the points will not be counted.
• The following applies to all tests:
• On site at the university. Changes will be communicated in time via TUWEL.
• Permitted documents: Slides, Java API

Grading scale:

• 100 - 92 Very good
• 91 - 83 Good
• 82 - 74 Satisfactory
• 73 - 65 Sufficient
• < 65 Not sufficient

Registration for the course is mandatory for attendance and also provides access to the TUWEL course.
