K. Student Learning
K1. EVALUATION OF STUDENT LEARNING:
Achievement of the Course Outcomes will be measured by:
1. It is recommended that at least 3 hourly exams be given during the semester.
2. Instructors should use additional methods of evaluation to include: Graded programming assignments/projects, team assignments/projects, lab exercises, final exam.
3. Optional: Research project on computer related topics.
K2.
ASSESSMENT OF STUDENT LEARNING:
Computer Science Learning Outcome Assessment Plan
L. LIBRARY RESOURCES: Students are encouraged to use the open hours of the Computer Science Lab and the tutor assistance provided in the Lab.
NOTES: 1. The majority of this course focuses on server-side development and programming.
2. The course covers two equivalent technology suites for distributed web applications development, with emphasis placed on the first:
a. Java/Servlets/EJB
b. .NET/C#/ASP.NET/COM+
3. Team projects should be included in this course. 4. Workplace realism should be an integral part of this
course, including case studies, examples, exercises, projects.
