#1. The duration of the course amounts to 64 class periods (both lectures and practical trainings)
divided into 24 lecture hours and 40 practical training hours. In addition, 116 academic hours are
set aside for self-studying of students. Mark check stipulated by the working syllabus consists of
results of performing of practical and homework tasks and one end-of-module test (MT, end of
first module) and final examination (FE) given in the second module.
Students Requirements:
It is presupposed that all individuals accepted as Master Program students completed
corresponding full-time Bachelor degree training programs and were selected (based on either
portfolio tenders, or other core performance indices) to continue their MS education in the
Program, therefore.
The students should be familiar with the basics of the following training courses: a) Objectoriented analysis and programming b) The software development methodology.
The students will learn how to analyze, design, and develop mobile apps, gather requirements,
draft user interfaces and create system prototypes, translate application requirements into
working code.
Course Objectives:
The course covers mobile application development basics. Main aspects include design and
architecture patterns, user interactions specifics, capabilities of modern smart devices, platforms
similarities and differences as well as main restrictions and features. The main objective of the
training course is also to examine and discuss with students fundamentals and principles of
mobile apps development, get familiar with common methods, standards, platforms, toolkits,
and frameworks for the development of multiversion mobile apps for the popular architectures.
The course is aimed to help students to develop skills that will enable them to construct mobile
apps of high quality, reliable, and that is reasonably easy to understand, modify and maintain.
Abstract
The training course ‘Mobile Applications Development: Basics’ is concerned methods,
platforms and tools for professional mobile apps development. It is based on the training
materials (tutorials) from mobile apps developers for the platforms IBM Bluemix, Apple iOS,
Google Android, Microsoft Windows Phone, Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services, etc.
Modern mobile apps development requires the collaborative effort of a diverse team with varied
skills. To be effective, team members need to understand the activities performed at each stage
in the development cycle. In this course, students will analyze, design, and implement
applications that meet user requirements through performing a collective team project. They gain
hands-on experience performing each role within the development team. The course is aimed at
students taking courses at mobile apps development in commerce and industry. The course is
aimed at studying the major current approaches to development of mobile apps and the the
processes like specification, design and implementation. It describes the methods, platforms,
technologies and tools, which are applied for mobile app development. It discusses also the
SEMAT initiative concerning “Software engineering method and theory”, requirements
engineering, design and implementation processes.
Training Objectives:
During the two-module course “Mobile Applications Development: Basics”, the students will:
 Study the platforms and toolkits for the fast development of modern mobile apps.
 Learn the processes, techniques and deliverables that are associated with requirements
engineering, app design, and implementation of mobile apps.
 Acquire skills in software design, and module development (including agile methods).
 Focus on techniques for mobile app development and modern trends in that field.
At the end of the course the students will acquire theoretical and practical knowledge and
will be able to use:

IV. Education control forms / Assessments:
- [A] progress (interim) check: end-of-module test (MT) at the end of 1st module,
- [B] concluding check: final exam (FE) at the end of 2nd module (the last module of the course),
- [C] home assignment (H) during 1st and 2nd modules.
[Assessment] Progress (interim) [A] and concluding check [B] grades are made up of the following
components:
 Work activity (WA) during seminar hours in 1st, 2nd modules is controlled by the use of
keeping students attendance records and scoring (evaluation) involvement into discussions as
well as quality of exercise performance during practical trainings.
 End-of-module test (MT) at the end of module implies arrangement of the written test (in
lecture room) for all students enrolled to the course (the possibility of complementary
interview with students is still reserved for the purpose of accurate grade confirmation).
Subject area covered by the test embraces those topics of the course, which are discussed in
both lectures and practical trainings till the announced date; if student misses the end-of
module test because of some valid reason, the grade «absence» is written down to
corresponding column of the mark sheet. Depending on the number and complexity of the
end-of-module test tasks (final decision is taken by the course instructor), the duration of the
test amounts for 90 to 105 minutes. The end-of-module test (MT) is assessed on usual tenpoint scale.
Ultimate grades of the end-of-module check (MT) and concluding check (FE) on ten-point scale
are obtained as follows:
- (А) grade of the end-of-module check Ultimate MT (at the end of the 1st module) is calculated
as a weighted sum
Ultimate MT = 0.75 * WA + 0.25 * MT,
where WA and MT are ten-point scale grades for the written test (end of the 1st – beginning of
the 2nd module). Calculated value obtained is rounded to integer grade. Student gets the grade
«pass», if Ultimate MT >= 4 (refer to correspondence table below),
- (B) concluding check grade (FE) at the end of the last 2nd module accumulates course results as
follows:
FE = 0.65 * WA + 0.2 * H + 0.15 * E ,
where Work Activities (WA), Home Assignment (H) and Exam (E) are ten-point scale grades.
As always, calculated value of FE is rounded to integer grade.
Conversion of the concluding rounded grade (FE) to five-point scale grade is done in accordance
with the following table:
Summary Table: Correspondence of ten-point to five-point system’s marks
Ten-point scale [10]
Five-point scale [5]
1 - unsatisfactory
2 - very bad
3 - bad
4 – satisfactory
5 - quite satisfactory
Unsatisfactory- 2
Satisfactory- 3
6 - good
7 - very good
Good - 4
8 - nearly excellent
9 - excellent
Excellent- 5
10 - brilliantly
