Overview
Software Development 2 will be delivered in a blended manner. Lecture content will be made available via videos on Moodle. Several videos will support a unit-week: one for each topic covered. Tutorials will allow students to apply the principles of problem solving and program tracing in a group-working environment using problem-based learning. Practical labs will provide students with hands-on practice of developing software using the principles described in the lectures and tutorials.
In the labs, students will work with a partner (pair programming) to enhance their learning. Students will deliver one part of the assessment in a pair. This is to ensure students undertake the benefits of pair programming. The aim is for students to develop their abilities in collaboration and support.
The material will be delivered in a manner so students can build on the learning provided in Software Development 1. There is an expectation that the students will feel comfortable with programming when they join the module. The module will still use initial examples which students follow how to complete a program step-by-step to gain practice and feedback, but the aim is for students to gain confidence in writing software from the start so they can deliver more sophisticated software solutions later in the programme.
