• Structure large-scale programs properly and implement them extensively
• Set up own Java class libraries
• Look up required classes in the JDK-Library and solve problems with these classes
• Structure their programs properly
• Understand and interpret large-scale programs
• Evaluate the quality of large-scale programs related to their maintainability, reuseability and expandability

Methodological competence:
The students:

• Search for solutions on the internet

Social competence:
The students:

• Discuss own and someone else's solutions

Self-competence:
The students:

• Reflect their problem-solving behaviour and take up new solutions, e.g. from the internet
