Learning Outcomes

General competences

Final competences:

The student has good knowledge of modelling, more in particular Object Oriented (OO) modelling in the UML, and (s)he is able to apply the knowledge to describe medium-sized software projects (programming projects, databases, websites, …).

(S)he has a good knowledge of how UML concepts map onto advanced Scala concepts.

The student understands the quality properties of well-designed OOP software and why GOF design patterns contribute to those properties.

The student is aware of more advanced OOP models such as reactive programming in Scala and the multi method model used by Julia and Clojure.

Grading

The final grade is composed based on the following categories:
