Learning outcomes of the course unit

Students learn the basics of programming and algorithms. They will be able to formulate a simple algorithm and to implement it. Acquired knowledge enables students to orientate in object-oriented programming.

Prerequisites

Basic skills with Windows PC.

Co-requisites

Not applicable.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

The course is taught through lectures, where an explanation of basic principles is made. Seminaries are focused on practical mastering in topics presented in the lectures.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

Classification reflects the quality of the semester assignment and written test.
FINAL ASSESSMENT: 100--90: A (excellent); 89--80: B (very good); 79--70: C (good); 69--60: D (satisfactory); 59--50: E (sufficient); 49--0: F (unsatisfactory).

Aims

The aim of the course is to teach students to algorithmize practical problems and to implement the algorithms. Teaching is leaded in such a way that students learn to work independently in a programming environment so as they could their knowledge to deepen as needed and to be able to present the results of independent work on assigned projects.

Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences

Attendance at lectures is recommended, attendance at seminars is required. Lessons are held according to a weekly schedule. The method of compensation for an absence is fully at the authorization of the teacher.

Syllabus

The seminars develop topics covered in lectures. An accent is placed on the ability to work independently, ie. to create a simple algorithm and its debugging. At least one new program is is developed in each seminar. Students demonstrate acquired knowledge in semestral project, whose results are presented at the end of the semester.
