Applicability / Curricular relevance:
All study programs (with year of the version of study regulations) containing the course.

PIBWI50 (P221-0123) Applied Informatics, Bachelor, ASPO 01.10.2011 , semester 5, optional course, informatics specific
PIB-PRG4 (P221-0123) Applied Informatics, Bachelor, ASPO 01.10.2017 , semester 4, optional course, informatics specific
Workload:
Workload of student for successfully completing the course. Each ECTS credit represents 30 working hours. These are the combined effort of face-to-face time, post-processing the subject of the lecture, exercises and preparation for the exam.

The total workload is distributed on the semester (01.04.-30.09. during the summer term, 01.10.-31.03. during the winter term).
60 class hours (= 45 clock hours) over a 15-week period.
The total student study time is 150 hours (equivalent to 5 ECTS credits).
There are therefore 105 hours available for class preparation and follow-up work and exam preparation.
Recommended prerequisites (modules):
None.
Recommended as prerequisite for:
Module coordinator:
Prof. Dr.-Ing. Matthias Jung
Lecturer:
Prof. Dr.-Ing. Matthias Jung

Learning outcomes:
After successfully completing this module, students will:
_ be proficient in the basic language concepts (data types, expressions, control structures, functions, exception handling) of C++.
_ be proficient in the special C++ concepts of object orientation (classes, objects, inheritance, polymorphism) and be able to implement them in programming terms.
_ be capable of using function and class templates in programs.
_ be able handle basic classes and algorithms of the C++ standard library (e. g. strings, input/output, container classes, generic algorithms) confidently.
_ be able to develop solutions to difficult problems in small teams and implement them in a well-structured manner.
