Slides

Books.

• Ira R. Forman and Nate B. Forman. Java Reflection in Action. Manning Publications. 2004.
• Ramnivas Laddad. AspectJ in Action: Pratical Aspect-Oriented Programming. Manning Publications Company. 2003.

The exam is written (at the computer). Each session proposes two exercises:

• the exercises are graded on a scale from 0 to 15;
• one exercise focuses on reflection and the other one on aspect-oriented programming; and
• to pass the exam you must score at least 9 on each exercise, e.g., a score of 15 on the first exercise and 3 on the second does not count as a pass.

Each exercise can be replaced by a midterm exam. The are two midterms, one for each part of the course. If you pass a midterm (with a grade of 9 or higher), it remains valid indefinitely, even across academic years. However, note that next edition of the course will be offered only in two academic years. The midterms are independent of each other

• if you fail one, you can take the other;
• any failed midterm can be retaken during the regular exam sessions.

You are STRONGLY encouraged to attend and prepare for the midterms.

The final grade corresponds to the sum of the two exercise scores, provided that both are passed.
