Seminar Tasks

This is the  LABA subcourse. It consists of the development of one single object-oriented program, which is reported at five different seminars.

Instructions

The first four seminars concern different activities of object-oriented development. Each of these seminars give 0-2 points, where zero means fail, one means pass and two means pass with distinction. To pass the LABA subcourse you must pass (one or two points) all seminars.To pass a seminar with distinction (2p) gives one higher grade point, which raises the final grade as specified on the page Course Layout . The fifth seminar is an opportunity to re-submit seminars you did not pass or to improve your score for one or more seminars. To pass a seminar, you must have solved the specified tasks and participate in the discussion during the seminar. It is not required that the solution is correct in all parts or that all statements made at the seminar are correct. More specific grading criteria are specified for each seminar together with the seminar tasks.

Design and analysis is always better done in groups than individually, it is therefore strongly recommended that you solve the tasks in groups. This is an advise, not a requirement. Written reports are individual, you may not submit the same report as someone else. Submitted solutions shall follow the template given below.

Template

All submitted solutions must follow this template, Download iv1350-report-template.pdf

. Note that the template is a pdf file, you must create a similar word document. Layout changes are allowed, it is the content that is important. Translate the template to Swedish if you prefer to write in Swedish. The template pdf is created using latex, if you want to try that you can use the following tex file, Download iv1350-report-template.tex.

Two things must be noted regarding the video above.

  1. Only the layers view, controller and integration are mentioned in the video. You are however very much allowed to add more layers. The point is that the data layer can be skipped entirely, and the view layer is only required to contain one single class, View.
  2. The recording was made last year, this year's pdf with the tasks is not identical to the pdf in the video. The difference is that a short paragraph has been added, with an advice (not requirement) to consider code already now.
