Module Details
Module Additional Assessment Details
In this module you will keep a portfolio of practical work, which will be assessed in a mid-semester class test (weighted 30%, assessing learning outcomes 1 and 3) and in the exam.
The 2 hour exam (weighted 70%, assessing learning outcomes 1, 2 and 3) will also assess your knowledge and understanding of key object-oriented principles and their implementation in Java.
