Knowledge of English equivalent to what is required for entry to Swedish first-cycle courses and study programmes.

Learning outcomes

For the grade Pass, after completing the course the student should be able to

• solve programming tasks relevant to language technology, including the use of libraries, the processing of text collections and the use of numerical methods
• Implement and theoretically analyze the complexity of common data structures and algorithms
• use and justify object-oriented design for programming tasks.

Content

Advanced programming course focusing both on practical applications in language technology, and theoretical understanding of data structures, algorithms and complexity.

Instruction

The teaching consists of lectures and laboratory sessions under supervision.

Assessment

Assessment is done through presentation of laboratory assignments and a written exam.

If there are special reasons for doing so, an examiner may make an exception from the method of assessment indicated and allow a student to be assessed by another method. An example of special reasons might be a certificate regarding special pedagogical support from the University's disability coordinator.
