| Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
Learning & Teaching methods including their alignment to LOsThe module material is presented via a combination of lectures (LOs 1 & 2) and supporting practical sessions (LOs 1 & 2), with a strong focus in both being placed on the application of theory and techniques to practical development. A "hands on" practical approach is taken throughout the module teaching. Thus, in addition to explaining underlying theory and concepts, lectures will include extensive practical demonstrations of programming techniques. The practicals will provide the opportunity for the application of these techniques to a range of interesting applications from simple line drawing to more complex graphical manipulation and image processing.The simplicity and “teachability” of the language and the extensive supporting web resources mean that advanced visual applications can be developed by novice programmers. Students start writing and testing programs that produce and subsequently animate digital images from the first practical exercises, gradually attempting more complex applications as the module progresses. The Integrated Development Environment (IDE) is simple to use and highly accessible.As a first course in programming it is important for students to become familiar with the habits of programming and to become familiar and confident with the code-test-re-code cycle. In this, the first programming course for these students, they will be expected to write code that is effective but not necessarily elegant or especially well crafted. However examples provided will be well-crafted and students will be encouraged to follow this example. The teaching approach will be incremental. Early practical sessions will provide the core skills that will be applied to problems on increasing size and complexity as the module progresses.
