Whilst knowledge of principles of object-oriented design and programming, user interface design and development, is not mandatory, it will definitely be an advantage. Planned Student Learning Experiences New material will be presented during two-hour lectures. Tutorials will discuss the transition from concepts to implementation required in the laboratory. Lab classes will be conducted in a computer laboratory and will consist of applying the issues and concepts discussed during lectures and tutorials to the writing of simple database applications.
All work is to be performed individually by students.
The subject aims at learning design and development techniques applicable to most visual development environments rather than concentrating just on product-specific features. While a minimum attendance standard is not compulsory, non-attendance may seriously jeopardise the chances of success in this subject. Clearly, non-attendance at an assessment will result in failure of that assessment. Where visa conditions apply, attendance is compulsory. Therefore each assignment should be seen as a hurdle.
