Programming in Java Language

COVID-19

• the course will be taught remotely
• the lectures will be held via the Teams and the practicals via online group consultations
• the code to access the lectures was distributed via the email from the SIS to the subscribed students
  • in case you have not received it, send an email to Petr Hnětynka

Practicals/Labs

• Practicals are in the Unix computer lab
• Sign yourself to a practical using the information system
  • who is not signed to a practical within first three weeks of the semester will not receive “zápočet”
• Information for those who repeats the course or does 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 previous year can be accepted (but only in the scope of a single study)
    • 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
• implementations of exercises from the practicals can be obtained HERE
  • WARNING: commonly there are incomplete implementations

Exam and “zápočet”

• Exam is a written test
• To obtain “zápočet” it is necessary to create home project program and successfully pass the practical programming test
• Next, in the middle of the semester there will be six mandatory home-works.
  • It is necessary to obtain at least 225 of points from them (out of 450 points).
• Practicals attendance is mandatory!
  • If you miss more than 3 practicals, you have to obtain at least 315 from the home-works.
• Topics for the home program project has to be agreed till 8^th January 2021
  • the topic is agreed with the teacher of the particular practical you are assigned to.
  • without properly agreed topic you will not obtain “započet”
• Submitting the home program project
  • till the end of February; the latest deadline is 21^st May 2021 12:00 (noon)
    • THIS IS FINAL DEADLINE AND WILL NOT BE EXTENDED!!!
  • the project is submitted by email; only if it is necessary the project is shown personally.
  • the project is submitted as a zip archive, which contains:
    • sources,
    • build.xml file for ant (allows compilation, javadoc generation, and execution of the project),
      • Maven or Gradle can be used too
    • user documentation (as a plain-text or html or pdf) so the project can be launched and tested,
      • developer documentation can be javadoc only (all methods commented, commented packages, basic info on the overview page)
    • explicitly specified version of Java, which is necessary for compilation and execution (ideally specified directly in build.xml or pom.xml)
• Dates for exams and practical tests will be posted in SIS
• Information about exam
  • duration 45 minut
  • written
  • no need to have “započet” in advance
  • no resources allowed (books, notes, slides,…)
    • (only a pen and your head are allowed :-)
  • there will be one exam during summer exam period and maybe one or two exams during the semester
• Information about practical tests
  • duration 3 hours
  • in the Unix lab or online
    • depends whether physical presence of students will be allowed
  • you can use any printed resources (books, notes,…)
    • all electronic resources and network communication is forbidden (the exceptions are API documentation (without tutorials) and the course website, i.e. slides and examples)
  • there will be also a test during the summer exam period
• Homeworks will be posted in ReCodEx and announced during the lecture
