This module should consist of approximately 100 hours of student effort. This will consist of 3 taught lectures per week and 2 hours for computing labs when help will be available.
Note that you will be given exercises for each aspect of the programming which you are advised to attempt before coming to the help sessions. This will enable you to gain the optimum usage of the help sessions.
One of the aims of this module is to gain experience on the use of UNIX workstations.
The Linux workstations which will be used for this course will be located in G46, G47 and 1.53 at the beginning of the term. During the term they will move to all be located in the one large room 2.50.
There are 3 laboratory slots indicated on the timetable - you will be allocated to attend one of these slots. You will also be told which lab to use in this slot. In this lab a helper will be available to assist with your work.
You will also need to use the labs at other times. If you cannot gain access to the Linux labs becuase other classes are using them, you can use other Unix workstations or you can use a PC and use eXceed to make it access a Unix machine.

Information is given here on installing GCC Compiler on your PC at HOME. |  |
You will be examined on this work as part of the MSc exam in April and you will have to submit an assignment at the end of the course. This assignment will be a larger programming exercise combining the individual elements of programming you have already been taught into a larger project. This assignment will be issued mid term, at the end of the taught programming part of the course and the beginning of the software engineering principles.
