Content and learning outcomes
Course contents
The basics of a modern programming language. The programming language
used is Java.
Computer science concepts.
Modularization and program structuring.
Applications in modelling and simulation.
Intended learning outcomes
After completing this course the students will be able to
* Write small imperative programs.
* Use control structures and functions.
* Design and implement simple graphic interfaces.
* Explain the ADT notion and exemplify its usability.
* Use ADT:s to solve given programming problems.
* Describe the MVC model for program structuring and
how it can be extended to program a physical simulation.
* Use the extended MVC model to write a program for a given
pysical simulation or animation.
* Describe basic concepts in object oriented programming:
class, object, interface, reference and inheritance.
* For a given programming task, implement a well modularized
program where objects are used both as modules and as data.
* Understand and use program documentation.
* Discuss programming using computer science terms.
grades C, D and E will be based on the degree of
achievement of the learning outcomes above.
For grades A and B:
* Choose a problem and design and implement a modularized
program, individually (for grade A) or together with
another student (grade B).
For grade A:
* Write documentation of how to use the program and its modules.
* Write documentation of the construction process for the program.
and therefore they can
* effectively use computers in their studies and working life,
* take other courses in computer science and numerical analysis.
Literature and preparations
Specific prerequisites
Recommended prerequisites
High school mathematics (scientific program). Some computer experience (the concepts of operating system and file and experience from one computer application, e.g. word processing).
DD1301 Computer Introduction I recommended
SF1604 Linear Algebra.
Equipment
Literature
To be announced at least 2 weeks before the course start at the web page for the course.
Examination and completion
If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.
Grading scale
Examination
- LAB1 - Laboratory Assignments, 6.0 credits, grading scale: A, B, C, D, E, FX, F
Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.
The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.
Other requirements for final grade
Laboratory assignments (LAB1; 6 university credits).
Opportunity to complete the requirements via supplementary examination
Opportunity to raise an approved grade via renewed examination
Examiner
Ethical approach
- All members of a group are responsible for the group's work.
- In any assessment, every student shall honestly disclose any help received and sources used.
- In an oral assessment, every student shall be able to present and answer questions about the entire assignment and solution.
