Knowledge

This is an introductory course to computer programming and related mathematical/logic background for students without a Bachelor in Computer Science or in Computer Engineering. The objective is to smoothly introduce the student to the programming concepts and tools needed for typical data processing and data analysis tasks. The course consists of lectures and practice in computer labs.

Assessment criteria of knowledge

The student will be assessed on his/her demonstrated ability to use computer programming for problem solving. There is a lab exam (4 hours) and an oral exam.

Methods:

  • Final oral exam
  • Final laboratory practical demonstration
Skills

The student will be able to use computer programming languages and related mathematical notions for problem reasoning and solving.

Assessment criteria of skills

Skills will be assessed through a lab exam. 

Behaviors

The student will be able to separate apart the problem constraint and solutions from the actual coding in a specific computer programming language. Computational thinking is the expected ability at the end of the course.

Assessment criteria of behaviors

Autonomy and capacity of computational thinking will be assessed during the lab practices and at the oral exam.

Prerequisites

Basic mathematical notions as given in most of Bachelor programs.

Co-requisites

None.

Prerequisites for further study

This course specifically gives the necessary prerequisites for "Algoritmica e Laboratorio" (008AA) and, in general, for all INF/01 courses of the Master degree in Data Science and Business Informatics.
