Recommended Prerequisites

Introduction to Programming

Teaching Methods

The teaching methodology follows a model of two theoretical-practical classes per week, with two hours each. The classes combine an expository component including concepts, principles, examples and good practices, with a practical component in which students apply the knowledge in modeling and programming exercises.

Learning Outcomes

This course aims to give the students knowledge in Object Oriented Programming. The course will address techniques of modeling, analysis, and development of applications following the object-oriented programming paradigm. The programming language used will be Java, since it is a dominant language in terms of object orientation, and it is also suitable for teaching this paradigm.

Upon the successful completion of this course, the student should be prepared to model problems according to the object-oriented paradigm and develop applications in Java following good practices of object-oriented programming, namely, encapsulation, inheritance, and polymorphism, as well as error handling.
