Teaching

Sign yourself to a practical using the information system
- who is not signed to a practical within first three weeks of the semester will not receive “zápočet”
Information for those who do not want to attend the practicals
- if you do not want to attend practicals, you can also sign yourself to the “virtual” practical
- for the “virtual"practical, there are the same requirements and deadline as for the “regular” ones
if you repeat the course the requirements you fulfilled the previous year can be accepted (but only in the scope of a single study)
- explicitly write about it to the teacher of the particular practical (within the first three weeks of the semester)
- if you failed to finish the home project program, the topic is not automatically accepted
  - but it is not necessary to think out a new one; you can propose the original one

Exam is a written test
To obtain “zápočet” it is necessary to create a home project program and successfully pass the practical programming test
During the semester, there will be multiple homeworks
- The homeworks will follow each other
- The homeworks completion is optional
- The homeworks will be submitted via ReCodEx
- If you complete the homeworks to 90%, you will have an extra point for the exam
The home project has to non-trivially exploit a covered technology.
The home project has to be appropriately complex.
- The topic of the project has to be agreed (by email) with the lecturer till 22^nd May 2026. “Agreed” means that the topic is suggested by a student and confirmed by the lecturer.
- The project should be submitted ideally till the end of June; the latest deadline is 18^th September 2026.
  - The project is submitted by email; only if it is necessary the project is shown personally.
  - The project is submitted as a zip archive, which contains:
    - sources,
    - unit tests,
    - pom.xml file for Maven
      - Ant or Gradle can be used too
    - user documentation (as a plain-text or html or pdf) so the project can be launched and tested,
    - developer documentation as javadoc (all methods commented, commented packages and modules, basic info on the overview page)
    - explicitly specified version of Java in pom.xml (or in a corresponding file for the used build tool)
