Requirements

In order to complete this course you need to:

• Hand in at least 50% of all lab assignments. 
  • They have to do at least something similar to what the assignment was. :) Somehow demonstrate, that you've understood what the pattern is all about!
• Complete 2 written tests:
  • 1 midterm (date: TBA(To Be Announced))
  • 1 final (date: TBA)

Since there are few who can't attend the lectures, the tests will be during the lab sessions. There will of course be a repeated test for those who fail or do not attend. The repeated test will take place during a normal lab session, so the others will be working on their assignment. 

You can get a proposed grade by writing a Case Study about either an open source application, library or about a programm you wrote. The study has to point out:

• Which patterns are used?
  
• To what intent?
• What are the benefits
• and trade offs?
• General evaluation of the implementation:
  • Was the use of the pattern necessary?
  • How did the general design benefit from it's usage, in terms of:
    • Flexibility,
    • Maintainability,
    • and of course Reusability.
• Commented UML diagramms and source code must be part of the document!
