5.1. Learning objectives

Development skills

1. Approaches for working in teams.

2. Designing a working library for specific technical requirements.

3. Working to a realistic project specification.

4. Effective use of version control.

5. Devising tests.

Programming skills

1. Reinforcement of skills developed in Michaelmas Term.

2. Introduction to user modules and multi-file library implementations.

3. Working with user-defined objects.

5.2. Assessment guidelines
