More topics about German culture will be explored.
This course is designed for students who have previously taken Beginning and Intermediate German courses. On the one hand, it focuses on communicative competence and linguistic functional ability. The lessons cover grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation as well as skills in speaking, listening, reading, and writing. On the other hand, the focus of this course will be on real-life language use, the integration of German and Germanic culture and language, and the acquisition of the four skills: reading, listening, writing, and speaking.

SOF103 C and C++ Programming Wong Chim Chwee
To provide a solid introduction to programming in C and C++ and to provide an overview of the principles and constraints that affect the way in which these languages have been designed and are used. Before delving into the object-oriented realm of C++, this course first focuses on the foundational concepts of procedural programming using C such as primitive types, selection and control structures, files, functions, arrays and pointers. It then covers an intermediate study of object-oriented methodologies using C++ with an emphasis on classes and objects, inheritance, polymorphism, exception handling and templates.
