NPRG051 - Advanced Programming in C++

CZE - Přednášky a pravidla ENG - Lectures and materials Assignments

Course format

In English, there is only one event in the weekly timetable, assuming the role of lectures and tutorials as needed (not necessarily regularly as suggested in the SIS schedule).

Grading & Exam

Credit is awarded for timely and correct completion of homework assignments assigned during the semester.

All the homework assignments must be written solely by the student who submits them, independently and without the use of AI tools. You may discuss the design and associated problems with your peers; however, the code must be written only by you and you shall not share the code with anyone.

Obtaining credit is a condition for admission to the exam.

The exam consists of a practical test and a subsequent oral discussion of the practical test, the homework assignments, and related areas. The oral part of the exam may be omitted if the results of the practical part clearly determine the outcome of the exam.
