Programming Principles: Software Design

In this session we look at some of the basics of good code design, including avoiding duplication and designing for loose coupling and high cohesion.

Writing Technical Reports and Papers

A brief coverage of the structure of a paper/report and some hints on writing and avoiding plagiarism

Programming Principles: Super and Sub-classes

In this session we introduce inheritance - one of the cornerstone concepts of object oriented programming. We look at how to define super and sub-classes, how to maintain encapsulation using the super() constructor, and why it is useful to use substitution to hold references to sub-classes in references typed as their super-class.

Programming Principles: Polymorphism

In this session we build on inheritance and look at overriding methods and dynamic binding. Together these give us Polymorphism - the third pillar of Object Oriented Programming - and a very powerful feature that allows us to build methods that deal with superclasses, but whose calls get redirected when we pass in sub-classes.

Strategic searching and controlled vocabulary

Using free text and controlled vocabulary in Medline and CINAHL

Programming Principles: Abstract Classes and Interfaces

In this session we look at how to use Abstract Classes and Interfaces in Object Oriented Design - especially as a way to get all the advantages of multiple inheritance without any of the problems.

Programming Principles: Designing Applications

In this session we look at the how to use noun verb parsing to try and identify the building blocks of a problem, so that we can start to create object oriented solutions. We also look at some of the challenges of software engineering, and the processes that software engineers use to meet them, and finally we take a look at some more Design Patterns that may help us reuse well known and effective solutions in our own designs.

INFO1010: Organisational Perspectives

lecture in professional issues which looks at organisations likely to employ our students and suggests how students might work towards identifying and achieving their employment objectives

Module Evaluation template for use with zappers

This PowerPoint file can be used to run an end-of-module evaluation survey with the students providing their feedback using Turning Point zappers. It includes all the questions from the standard university survey (2011) except the three that require free-text-entry. You will need to edit the template so that it includes your module name and tutor name(s) - you may want to edit or delete some of the questions as well.
