13. TEACHING & LEARNING ACTIVITIES (TLAS)
CILO NO. TLAS
Lecture: The instructor will explain the course material in detail. And
students will be given extensive well-designed study cases during the
class to help them understanding the concepts of OOP.
Exercises: Student will be given some exercises during the class and
after class. As for the class exercise, students will present their solution
CILO 1 to the class. And there will be a short discussion after that. As for the
exercises after class, students need to submit their answer to lecturer.
Hands-on practice: The instructor will arrange tutorials in labs where
each student can practice OOP Programming skill.
Online Discussion: The instructor will setup an online discussion space
to interact with students ubiquitously.
Hands-on practice: Students will be given hand-on experiences on how
to implement a medium-sized system on their desktop in the way of
OOP. This system is elaborately designed by the instructor, and will be
divided into different phases. And students will be supervised to finish
CILO 2
the whole project step by step.
Online judge: The instructor will setup an online judge system or select
some problems from existing online judge systems. The students can
further improve their algorithm design skills and implementation skills
4/6
CILO NO. TLAS
using the online system.
Project: Students will be working in teams to implement a free project
wherein students need to cooperate with each other to propose a new
idea, analysis their problem, design a solution in the way of OOP, and
implement their solution in JAVA Programming language.
