Description for 2024/25

In this module students learn about the important properties of some data structures and algorithms that are of foundational importance to modern computer science and IT. As they do so, there is ample opportunity to develop and practice their general purpose computer programming skills so that in the future they are able to develop their own software solutions to straightforward problems.

Aims
To develop new programming skills as part of an exploration of several important data structures and algorithms used in Computer Science.

Intended Learning Outcomes

Outline important features of computer programming using an object oriented programming language: 1
Explain and evaluate the principles and operation of several data structures that are widely used in computer science: 1
Differentiate programming language features that can be used to operate, test and evaluate one or more of the widely used computer science data structures: 1
Select class, data and control structures for program-based problem-solving: 1

Study hours

24 hours lectures
11 hours practical lab-classes
2 hours for class-test
113 hours self study and assessment preparation

The University undertakes a continuous review of its teaching and research provision to ensure programmes are of a high quality and changes may be made to modules where it is necessary and reasonable to do so. Please be aware that minor changes to modules, such as a change to an individual assessment, can occur up until enrolment, although we endeavour to give you as much notice as possible of any changes. Details about the circumstance in which changes are made to programmes can be found in the Student Agreement, available at: https://www.keele.ac.uk/legalgovernancecompliance/governance/actcharterstatutesordinancesandregulations/studenttermsconditions/
