Teaching objectives (along with the exercises):Understand concepts of structured and object-based programming and associated graphical notations.Be able to design simple programs and implement them in Java.Be able to implement simple algorithms and data structures.Master the object-based part of the Java language.Know the object-oriented part of the Java language.Be able to use simple tools (development environment, debugger).Be able to formulate algorithms as Nassi Shneiderman diagrams.Be able to specify simple program structures as UML diagrams.Master the rules of structured programming.

Lecture, live programming, discussion (live & via Moodle).In order to allocate more time for live programming and discussions, the students are expected to watch der lecture videos before the respective lecture. Details are given in the Moodle course.German speaking students:Es werden außerdem passende deutschsprachige Videos auf der Kursseite von Klaus Schöffmann angeboten (Gastzugang, Schlüssel: ESOP23W).

Written exam with theoretical questions (mostly free text answers, possibly some MC questions) and programming tasks (paper & pencil, no IDE; possibly SPU or ROPE); if necessary, supplementary oral examination in borderline cases. If no more than 12 persons are registered for an exam, it may also be held completely orally.Merit  points earned during the course can be redeemed the first time the exam is attempted

Theory questions on the "Know" and "Understand" aspects of the teaching objectives catalog.Simple programming / specification tasks, which test the "Be able" / "Master" aspects of the teaching objective catalog.For written exams, all tasks are to be completed in writing and without an integrated development environment (IDE); CodeRunner tasks are possible. For oral exams, questions on theory are to be answered orally, while programming tasks are to be completed on the computer (IDE allowed).A catalog of sample exam questions can be found in the Moodle course.

The theory questions must be answered in such a way that it can be inferred from the answer that the topic from which the question is taken is sufficiently mastered.The programming tasks must be solved essentially correctly, whereby "venial sins" in syntactic terms are tolerated.Grading key:Grade from50 %450 % You must also score ≥ 50% on at least half of the questions.362,5 %275 %187,5 %
