AIMS AND CONTENT

LEARNING OUTCOMES

The student who has successfully followed the teaching of "Computer Science and Telematics Laboratory" will be able to design, create and verify the operation of a complex software system, using UML methodologies and object-oriented programming techniques.

AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES

During this teaching module the student will learn to:

• Use versioning systems with a focus on git
• Develop programs and libraries using the C# programming language. In particular, the student will be able to:
  • create and use variables
  • write and read from the console
  • write and use conditional statements, loops and vectors
  • create and use objects and their methods
  • use constructors, static variables and methods, namespaces, exceptions and strings
  • create new classes, structures, enums also with the use of generics
  • read and write files
  • model linear data structures, trees, graphs, sets and hash maps
• Verify the correct functioning of the software developed using the unit tests
• Write C # programs using an object-oriented approach. In particular, the student will be able to:
  • use interfaces, encapsulation, polymorphism, delegates and events
  • apply some design patterns (in particular observer, enumerator)
  • create extension methods, anonymous types
  • use lambda expressions and LINQ
• Implement simple graphical interfaces with windows forms
• Implement web services with the windows communication framework
• Design complex software systems with the UML methodology

TEACHING METHODS

The lessons alternate theoretical explanations with practical exercises. Theoretical explanations are frequently exemplified with the analysis, execution, and debugging of code fragments directly on the teacher's PC. All the material used in class (slides and practical examples) is shared through the AulaWeb and Teams platforms. Students can interact directly with the teacher during lessons or through the Teams platform. During the lectures, students are offered a certain number of practical exercises that must be delivered according to a specific time schedule using the GitHub site. Upon reaching 60% -80% of exercises correctly completed and delivered in the manner required, the student is entitled to 1 to 5 bonus points on the final grade of the exam.

EXAMS

EXAM DESCRIPTION

The exam is held on the dates in the official calendar from 9 AM to 1 PM. Students who take a final exam will have to answer a test with 62 multiple-choice questions (1h30m time limit) and set up a complex software project with a test-driven approach. This second part of the exam can be made in pairs.

ASSESSMENT METHODS

Through the lectures, some exercises are presented, divided into blocks whose themes are aligned with the topics of the theoretical part. Students attending the lectures can do the exercises and load the corresponding source code in a specific repository on GitHub, following a schedule table that is communicated during the first lesson. The teacher evaluates the exercises completed on time suggesting possible fixes and code improvements. Students who at the end of the year have carried out correctly at least 80% of the proposed exercises are entitled to a bonus on the final grade.
