Practicals/Labs

• Sign yourself to a practical using the information system
  • who is not signed to a practical within the first three weeks of the semester will not receive “zápočet”
• Information for those who repeat the course or do not want to attend the practicals
  • if you repeat the course, and you have fulfilled some requirements of the course, and you do not want to attend the practicals, then sign yourself to the special “virtual” practical
    • if you repeat the course, but you want to attend a “regular” practical, of course you can
  • the requirements you fulfilled the previous year can be accepted (but only in the scope of a single study)
    • at the beginning of the semester, explicitly write about it to the teacher of the particular practical
    • if you did not write the home project program, the topic is not automatically accepted
      • but it is not necessary to think out a new one; you can propose the original one
  • if you do not repeat the course but do not want to attend practicals, you can also sign yourself to the “virtual” practical
  • for the “virtual” practical, there are the same requirements and deadline as for the “regular” ones
  • “recipe” for the “virtual” practical
    • sign yourself to the “virtual” practical
    • write an email to the teacher of the “virtual” practical (Petr Hnetynka)
      • if you repeat the course, write about already fulfilled requirements
      • if you do not repeat the course, propose a topic of the home project program
    • work on homeworks

Exam and “zápočet”

• Exam is a written test
• To get “zápočet,” it is necessary to create a home project program and successfully pass the practical programming test
• During the semester, there will be multiple homeworks
  • The homeworks completion is optional
  • The homeworks will be submitted via ReCodEx
    • After submitting the homework, explicitly request a review in ReCodEx
  • If you complete the homeworks to 90%, you will have an extra point for the exam
• Topics for the home program project have to be agreed till 8^th January 2027
  • the topic is agreed with the teacher of the particular practical you are assigned to.
  • without a properly agreed topic, you will not get “započet”
• Submitting the home program project
  • ideally till the end of February; the latest deadline is 21^st May 2027 12:00 (noon)
    • THIS IS FINAL DEADLINE AND WILL NOT BE EXTENDED!!!
  • the project is submitted via ReCodEx
    • after submitting the homework, explicitly request a review in ReCodEx
  • the minimal expected size is around 40 kB of code (including javadoc comments)
  • the project is submitted as a ZIP archive, which contains:
    • sources (at least 40 kB as mentioned above),
    • several unit-tests,
    • pom.xml file for Maven
      • Ant or Gradle can be used too
    • user documentation (as md or html or pdf) so the project can be launched and tested,
    • developer documentation as javadoc
      • all methods commented, commented packages and modules, basic info on the overview page
