Teaching Models @ BIG: On Efficiently Assessing Modeling Concepts
نویسندگان
چکیده
Approximately 1000 students of computer science and business informatics attend the course Introduction to ObjectOriented Modeling (OOM) offered by the Business Informatics Group (BIG) of the Vienna University of Technology each year in order to learn the basic concepts of the Unified Modeling Language (UML) and to obtain a certificate. For finishing the course successfully, the students must pass three small tests where they have to prove their theoretical knowledge about UML concepts as well as their ability to apply this knowledge in practical exercises. In this paper we report our experiences in assessing the modeling knowledge of our students and we reveal how we design the tests.

متن کاملTeaching Model Engineering in the Large
Traditionally, models are considered as pretty pictures supporting merely the documentation of a software development project. With the rise of model-driven engineering (MDE) this viewpoint has to be reconsidered. Models become firstclass artifacts which yield the basis for the generation of executable program code. In modern university curricula of computer science and related fields this para...
