Pre-requisite Courses and Assumed Knowledge and Capabilities

COSC2801 - Programming Bootcamp 1


Course Description

Programming Bootcamp 2 builds on Programming Bootcamp 1, in a bootcamp style, i.e. in a focussed mode over a period of 4 or 5 weeks. This course covers advanced algorithms and data structures. This course serves as a pre-requisite for more specialized courses that require programming.


Objectives/Learning Outcomes/Capability Development

This course contributes to Program Learning Outcomes (PLOs) for:

BP094P23 Bachelor of Computer Science

BP096P23 Bachelor of Software Engineering


Course Learning Outcomes (CLOs): 

Upon successful completion of this course you should be able to:

  1. Apply comprehensive knowledge of advanced programming concepts in solving practical problems.
  2. Analyse and design algorithmic solutions for small to medium scale practical problems. 
  3. Create and evaluate programming solutions for small to medium scale software systems.  
  4. Demonstrate good software development and industry informed professional practice.
  5. Demonstrate skills for self-directed learning. 
 


Overview of Learning Activities

Instructor Guided Hours (face to face): 48 per offering 

This course will be facilitated in a bootcamp learning style, which is an intensive mode teaching approach based around workshops. over a period of 4 or 5 weeks. 

The content will be presented in a blended mode, with online material supplemented with instructor guided activities and consultation sessions.  

Learner Directed Hours: 72 per offering  

Learner-directed hours include time spent reading and studying online materials; working through examples; and performing exercises and assignments designed by the instructors to reinforce concepts and develop practical skills across a variety of problem types. 


Overview of Learning Resources

You will make extensive use of computer laboratories and relevant software provided by the University. You will be able to access course information and learning materials through MyRMIT. Lists of relevant reference texts, resources in the library and freely accessible Internet sites will be provided.
