Practicals/labs

• 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 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 and “zápočet”

• Exam is a written test
• To obtain “zápočet” it is necessary to create 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 exploiting 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 23^rd May 2025. “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 15^th September 2025.
    • 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)
