Learning activities and teaching methods
Monological explanation (lecture, presentation,briefing)
  • Home preparation for classes - 24 hours per semester
  • Preparation for credit - 30 hours per semester
  • Preparation for exam - 40 hours per semester
  • Class attendance - 56 hours per semester
Learning outcomes
Technics, methods and tools of application development in the MS Windows environment.
Students gain theoretical knowledge and practical experience with programming approaches which differ fundamentally from the usual imperative approach of common programming languages. They learn Prolog and Scheme programming languages.
Prerequisites
Knowledge of procedural programming.

Assessment methods and criteria
Combined examination

Requirements for getting a credit are activity at the practicals /seminars and successful passing the tests. Examination is of the written and oral forms.
