Aims

The module aims to strengthen programming skills of the students in a group-based environment to foster their computer science problem solving skills.

Learning Outcomes

1.
Understand how to work as a team towards a shared goal.
2.
Share their ideas on a problem on a structured way for the benefit of the student’s technical team.
3.
Analyse and contribute to the behaviour of a program written by someone else.
4.
Utilize the facilities of modern IDEs and SCMs to collaborate with others and to streamline development in a group-working context.

Module Content

Outline Syllabus:Software development methodologies Team working principles for software development Problem decomposition Collaboration tools in popular IDEs Diagramming tools supporting design Understanding third party code via behavioural analysis
Module Overview:
This module introduces you to the skills required for developing technical computer science solutions in software as part of a development team. Each team will be fully supported by the delivery team. You will be expected to arrive at solutions yourself, acquire most of the necessary skills and knowledge yourself, and support your team members to strengthen cohesion and to arrive at solutions earlier.
Additional Information:This module is intended to introduce students to the skills required for developing technical computer science solutions in software as part of a development team. Each team will be fully supported by the delivery team but the students will be expected to arrive at solutions themselves and acquire most of the necessary skills and knowledge themselves as well (e.g., they will also be expected to support their team members to strengthen cohesion and to arrive at solutions earlier).
