Intended learning outcomes

Aims:

The course will provide the basic knowledge of a modern programming language.

In order to obtain satisfactory marks, the student must be able to write structured programs in a given programming language, with particular emphasis upon:

  • Formulating elementary algorithms for given problems and converting them into a program code
  • Using an Integrated Development Environment to write, execute, and debug a program.
  • Introducing and using data types and variables for storing data (including complex data types)
  • Explaining memory management of various data types, and distinguishing between addresses and variable values.
  • Conducting simplistic program design while choosing appropriate test data (i.e. breaking down a problem into partial problems, implementing functions one at a time, and performing step-by step testing).
  • Using external files for data storage.

In order to obtain higher marks, the student must be able to analyze more complex programming tasks and structure solutions on several levels: including problem analysis, comprehensive design, well-designed user interfaces, subdivision into partial problems, modules and functions, and implementation.

Ethical approach

  • All members of a group are responsible for the group's work.
  • In any assessment, every student shall honestly disclose any help received and sources used.
  • In an oral assessment, every student shall be able to present and answer questions about the entire assignment and solution.
