Advanced Programming
A.Y. 2022/2023
Learning objectives
The course aims to expose students to some advanced programming techniques and constructs, to demonstrate their application in solving specific problems and to stimulate and improve their critical thinking when applied in the resolution of even complex problems.
Expected learning outcomes
These objectives are measured via a combination of three components: the project realisation, the project technical report and the oral discussion. The final grade is formed by assessing the software developed, the project report, and then using the oral discussion for fine tuning.
Lesson period: First semester
Assessment methods: Esame
Assessment result: voto verbalizzato in trentesimi

Assessment methods and Criteria
The exam is written (at the computer) and it will last 4 hours. Each session proposes two exercises that test the advanced programming/problem solving techniques the student learned during the course.
