Subject specific learning outcomes and competences

Students will know fundamentals of essential stages in information system development at a level, which is further evolved in specialized subjects. They are able to develop suitable models during information system requirements analysis and design, mainly in the UML language.

Students will learn how to analyze a design solution of a given problem in a small team. They learn to present and defend  both partial and final results of the project.

Learning objectives

The goal of the subject is to give students knowledge of methods and tools used in information system development and to learn them to apply these methods and tools.

Prerequisite knowledge and skills

There are no prerequisites

Progress assessment

Study evaluation is based on marks obtained for specified items. Minimimum number of marks to pass is 50.

Duty credit consists of submitting and defending project results, and of obtaining at least 25 points for activities during semester.

Controlled instruction

A mid-term test, realization of a project.
