Continuous assessment of course work
Labels
The course KU Implementation of Optimisation Techniques (8 ECTS) as mentioned in the master’s curriculum Business Administration will not be offered any more in its original form. It is now split into two parts: Implementation of Optimization Techniques Part 1 (4 ECTS) and Implementation of Optimization Techniques Part 2 (4 ECTS). Hence, both courses are compulsory for students of Business Administration doing their Major in Smart Production and Supply Chain Management (as an equivalent to the old 8 ECTS course).For students of International Business Administration and students of Business Administration who are NOT doing their Major in Smart Production and Supply Chain Management, this course can be chosen as elective course.In general, there is no prior knowledge necessary to attend this course. However, it is suggested to complete the Introductory Phase of the Curriculum prior to visiting this course. Furthermore, having a basic knowledge of a programming language and/or algorithmic thinking is an advantage. For students who want to prepare for this course we recommend the following courses and resources:
* UK Special Topics in Production/Logistics/SCM: Softwaretools in Decision Support
* https://www.learncpp.com/
* https://www.cprogramming.com/tutorial/c++-tutorial.htmlThe course is particularly recommended to students, who want to write their thesis in the field Smart Production and Supply Chain Management.

Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
Assessment and permitted materials
* [35%] Homework: Programming Exercises (28%) & Theory questions (7%)
* [30%] Mid-Term Exam
* [35%] End-Term ExamThe homework programming exercises can (and should be done) in groups of 2 - 3 people. They have to be uploaded in Moodle until latest Tuesday 23:59 o'clock prior to the next class. At the beginning of each class groups will be randomly selected to present their code (resp. solution method).
The amount of work for the homework exercises increases throughout the semester, therefore the amount of points which can be gained is weighted according to their workload (i.e. exercises at the beginning of the semester are worth less points than exercises at the end of the semester).
Attempts of cheating by groups (e.g. uploading code which was not written by themselves) of single students (e.g. no contribution to the exercise) can be penalized by deducting up to twice as many points as the exercise is worth.Theory questions have to be ticked on Moodle until Thursday 12:00 o'clock. At the beginning of each class students will be selected randomly to present the answers to the theory questions. Again, attempts of cheating can be penalized by deducting up to twice as many points as the question is worth.In general, if a theory question is ticked or a programming exercise is uploaded students must be present in class, so that they can be chosen to present their homework. Failure to do so (without prior notification of absence) will be considered as an attempt of cheating.If one is asked to present the solution of a programming exercise but fails to do so, all points for programming exercises of the respective class will be canceled. Similarly, if one fails to answer a theory question, all ticks for theory questions of the respective class will be canceled.
