Course Specification IV. Intended Learning Outcomes of Course (ILOs) a. Knowledge and Understanding On completing the course, students should be able to: K.1 Distinguish between different types of programming languages such as procedural programming languages; object oriented programming languages, declarative programming languages, service-oriented programming languages. K.2 Use BNF and parse trees for languages parsing. K.3 Differentiate the different approaches for memory representation that applied for different types of programming languages. K.4 Recognize variables related concepts like Binding, lifetime, and scope. b. Intellectual/Cognitive Skills On completing the course, students should be able to: I.1 Evaluate and categorize languages and paradigms. I.2 Plan and assess when to use each programming paradigm. I.3 Analyse programs execution according to approaches used for parameter passing, and variables scoping and lifetimes. c. Practical/Professional Skills On completing the course, students should be able to: P.1 Solve concept base problems like stack implementation, scoping, life time assessment, and parameter passing. P.2 Build BNF for a given programming language. P.3 Practice the internal working process for Mozart as an example for declarative and object-oriented programming language. P.4 Use service-oriented features. P.5 Solve practical exercises on concurrency through using java threads, and sockets. d. General and Transferable Skills On completing the course, students should be able to: G.1 Do specific task in certain period of time “training problems in labs”. G.2 Work as a part of a team to find a solution for practical problems and projects.
