  • Purpose and learning objectives

    In Software Construction 2, students work with construction and programming in relational databases and learn how to develop graphical user interfaces and how to link these two software elements in client-server applications.

    Knowledge

    The student has gained development-based knowledge, understanding and an ability to reflect on applied theories and methods regarding
     implementation of relational databases
     database searches by means of a data query language
     transaction management and rollback in information systems
     client server programming and user interfaces.

    Skills

    The student masters skills related to the use of
     methods and theory for modifying data in and retrieving data from a database
     methods and theories for the development of client-server applications
     methods for the development of graphical user interfaces.

    Competences

    The student is able to handle complex and development-oriented issues regarding
     construction and testing of databases
     programming a client server application
     implementation of user interfaces in client server systems.

    The student is able to identify their own learning requirements and develop their own knowledge, skills and competencies in relation to
     client-server applications, databases and database programming.

  • Type of instruction
    During class there will be both group work and lectures
  • Exam

    The learning outcomes of the exam are identical with the learning outcomes of the subject(s)/modul(es)

    Exam in one or more subjects
    Subject/module is tested with the following modules
    There are 3 part-exams in the semester, each weighted 20%, 20% and 60%. The exams are with an internal examiner. When the part-exams will take place, will be published on KEA's learning platform at the start of the semester.
    Type of exam
    Oral examination
    The part-exams that are weighted 20% are written exams.

    The part-exams test whether the learning objectives for the individual semester modules have been. However, the part-exams that are weighted 20% focus mainly on the learning objectives for the knowledge and skills categories.

    The part-exam that is weighted 60% is a written assignment with an individual oral defence.
    It is the project submitted by the student that serves as the starting point for the oral part of the part-exam that is weighted 60%. The 60% part-exam tests the learning objectives within the categories of knowledge, skills and competencies for all the semester modules.

    The oral exam lasts 30 min. incl. grading. An overall grade is given according to the 7-point grading scale.

    At the start of the semester, the Head of Programme may decide that the two part-exams that are weighted 20% each can be combined into one part-exam weighted 30%. If so, the weighting of the 60% part-exam will be increased to 70%. Students will be informed about such a combination of part-exams at the start of the semester.

    If part-exams weighted 20% each are combined, the resulting 30% part-exam need not be passed. The part-exam that is weighted 70% must be passed, and the total weighted result must be at least 02. The grade of 02 cannot be obtained by rounding up.

    The overall grade for the second semester is the weighted average of module 4 case,module 5 case and theexam project.The total grade is rounded to the nearest grade in the 7-point grading scaleaccording to the arithmetic rounding method.However, there is no rounding up to the grade of 02. The total grade for the 2. semester is the weighted average of the grade for the module 4 case(weights 20%)!The grade forthe module 5 case (weights 20%) Grades for exam project (weights 60%)The semester is passed when the student achieves a total grade of 02 as a minimum and meets the prerequisite conditions for each module and the exam project. If the semester is not passed, the exam project must be re-taken.
    Formal requirements
    The exam project must be interdisciplinary and problem oriented.

    The School lays down the actual requirements for the project, which will combine essential fields of the 2rd semester teaching. The School must secure that the project description is given to the students and the examiners.

    Handing in Report
    The report must not exceed 35 standard pages excluding appendices. Appendices should be kept to a minimum.
    Individual exam or group exam
    Group, 2-7 max participants
    Exam languages
    Danish(Norwegian/Swedish)
    Duration
    1. Individual presentation based on report: 5 minutes.
    2. Individual examination: 20 minutes.
    3. Discussion of performance and announcement of grade: 5 minutes.
    Type of evaluation
    7-point grading scale
    Examiners
    Internal censure
    Exam criteria
    The student will receive an individual grade for the overall performance covering report,
    presentation and individual examination. The evaluation of the performance is based on the
    degree to which it complies with the purpose and learning objectives of the subjects, as described in the curriculum.

    Part-exams that are weighted 20% need not be passed. The part-exam that is weighted 60% must be passed, and the total weighted result must be at least 02. The grade of 02 cannot be obtained by rounding up.
