The course is organized twice during the academic year, in the fall semester as lectures and in the spring semeser as independent study. The lectures include self-study using videos and other material, blended learning discussions, homework, weekly exercise sessions, and larger programming exercises. The sping semester's independent study has a MOOC-like approach, the course primarily operates with support provided through Teams. The schedule is predetermined, and modules remain accessible for a duration of one to two weeks. The culmination of the course involves the completion of two substantial Qt applications as final assignments.

The course includes an electronic exam. The exam must be taken by TUNI EXAM system at one of the Tampere University campuses, UCS or UCPori. Read the Electronic exam instructions.

Basic programming knowledge. Course is meant for students that have knowledge corresponding to the grade 3 or better from the course COMP.CS.110 Programming 2: Structures (or its earlier versions). However, you can start the course, if your grade from Programming 2 is less than 3, but in such case you are expected to complete your prerequisite knowledge independently to the level expected on the course. Especially COMP.CS.110-level C++ programming skills are required, because the course's programming assignment is done using that language. Please make sure that you have completed the required prerequisites before you register! By registering, you agree to comply with the requirements and, upon request, you can present a transcript of records showing that you have completed the required prerequisites.
