Testing and exams

Students are required to prepare all chapters listed in the syllabus. The exam will be in oral form regarding subjects covered in the chapters. Each student is required to prepare small project in an Object-Oriented language (Java, Objective-C) on Windows, Linux, MacOsX, Android or iOS platforms. The project will show a strong command of object orientation and design principles covered during the course. The project will be discussed during the exam and presented with a written deliverable (with requirements, design, metrics and testing documented).
