View Revision History
Module Identifier jvallino.2005.1
Abstract This module introduces object-oriented design principles and patterns. It motivates the use of patterns by showing students that design patterns naturally occur in the process of designing object-oriented software systems.

This activity is split across to consecutive class periods. The two lecture and exercise times are for each session.
Size Lecture: 1 hour, 20 minutes
Exercise: 30 minutes, 50 minutes + several minutes per team
Homework: 2 - 4 hours
Comments We use this exercise in two consecutive classes the first week of our Engineering of Software Subsystems course which is a design principles and patterns course.
