Module Title:Object Oriented Software Development 1
Language of Instruction:English
Credits: 5
NFQ Level:6
Module Delivered In 3 programme(s)
Teaching & Learning Strategies: There will be 5 hours for practical work and short lectures (20-30 minute lectures). The practical sessions will provide students with the immediate opportunity to implement and reinforce the material presented in the short lectures.
Module Aim: To introduce the general concepts of object oriented programming and software development
Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of this module the learner should be able to:
LO1 Design and implement software solutions to complex problems using the object oriented paradigm.
LO2 Demonstrate an understanding of the object oriented paradigm
LO3 Implement object oriented constructs.
