Recommended Prerequisites

Object-Oriented Programming; Algorithms and Data Structures.

Teaching Methods

Theoretical classes with detailed presentation, using audiovisual means, of the concepts and principles, and solving of basic practical exercises to illustrate the practical interest of the subject and exemplify its application to real cases.

Theoretical-practical classes where the students, supervised by the staff member, solve practical exercises, which require the combination of different theoretical concepts and promote critical reasoning in the presence of more complex problems.

Laboratory classes  for the realization of a software project developed in group.

Learning Outcomes
