Content
In this unit students will expand their programming skills beyond procedural and object-oriented methods covered in earlier units, investigating parallel and distributed, as well as real-time systems programming. Through both study of theoretical aspects of programming languages and hands-on practicals on these programming paradigms, students will develop an understanding, skills and expertise in choosing and implementing the right programming paradigms to tackle the computational problems at hand.
| ULO | These are the Learning Outcomes (ULO) for this unit. At the completion of this unit, successful students can: | Deakin Graduate Learning Outcomes |
|---|---|---|
| ULO1 | Assess the suitability of different programming paradigms for a range of problem types to facilitate effective language selection and program design. | GLO1: Discipline-specific knowledge and capabilities |
| ULO2 | Design and implement programs in languages encompassing different programming paradigms to demonstrate effective and efficient computational problem solving. | GLO1: Discipline-specific knowledge and capabilities |
| ULO3 | Apply the theoretical aspects of different programming paradigms to analyse and critique the design of programs. | GLO1: Discipline-specific knowledge and capabilities |
