Description
This subject is based on a one hour online lecture and two hour interactive tutorial/laboratory sessions. The online lecture covers the theoretical aspects of software modelling and software development. In the two hour tutorial/laboratory session, the practical aspects of software modelling and software application development will be taught. This includes interactive group discussions, software design modelling and conversion of software design models into a working program using an interactive software development environment.
Students should familiarise themselves with the subject content by listening to each week’s lecture before attending the tutorial/laboratory session. Students should use the time outside the classroom to understand the week’s lecture content using the slides, textbooks, and laboratory materials posted on Canvas. Students should also practice on the software modelling case tool and integrated development environment to be able to do the laboratory and assignment tasks proficiently.
Feedback is regularly provided throughout the teaching session in several different formats: discussions of the tutorial questions, feedback on the software models and their conversion into a software program developed in the laboratory and the results of assessment tasks from the class tutor. Additionally, the range of these students learning activities will be supported by:
- Canvas Discussion Board
- UTS emails
- Staff consultation sessions
- UTS Library (resources and videos)
Typical availability
