Conoscenze

Questo corso è inteso per studenti in possesso di una Laurea diversa da Informatica o Ingegneria Informatica. Lo scopo è migliorare la preparazione in aree quali programmazione, linguaggi  e algoritmi (modulo Languages for Informatics), architettura dei calcolatori, sistemi operativi e reti informatiche (modulo Systems for Informatics). Oltre ai concetti di base, lo studente apprenderà come sviluppare un'applicazioen distribuita basata sui socket.

Knowledge

This course is intended for students graduated in disciplines different from computer science/engineering. It aims at improving the preparation in areas such as computer programming, languages, and algorithms (module on Languages for Informatics) as well as computer systems and networks (module on Systems for Informatics). In addition to basic concepts, the student will learn how to develop a distributed application based on sockets.

Modalità di verifica delle conoscenze

Lo studente sarà valutato sulla base della capacità di apprendere e mettere in pratica i principali argomenti presentati durante il corso. Durante l'esame orale lo studente dovrà mostrare la sua conoscenza degli argomenti del corso e discutere i concetti con terminologia appropriata.

Assessment criteria of knowledge

The student will be assessed on her/his demonstrated ability to understand and put into practice the main contents illustrated during the course. During the oral exam the student must demonstrate her/his knowledge of the course material and present concepts with an appropriate terminology. 

Capacità

Lo studente sarà in grado di sfruttare le conoscenza acquisite e la pratica maturata nelle esercitazioni in classe per progettare e realizzare programmi basati sul linguaggio C.

Skills

The student is able to leverage the acquired knowledge, complemented by a number of hands-on activities developed during the course, to design and implement programs based on the C language.

Modalità di verifica delle capacità

Lo studente sarà valutato sulla base della sua capacità di mettere in pratica i concetti illustrati durante il corso. A questo scopo dovrà progettare e realizzare un semplice applicazione di rete da presentare e discutere durante l'esame orale

Assessment criteria of skills

The student will be assessed on her/his ability to put into practice the concepts illustrated during the course. To this end, she/he is required to design and implement a simple distributed application and to report on this activity during the oral exam.

Comportamenti

Lo studente acquisirà accuratezza e precisione nella programamzione

Behaviors

Students will acquire accuracy and precision in programming

Modalità di verifica dei comportamenti

Durante le esercitazioni di laboratorio saranno valutati il grado di accuratezza e precisione delle attività svolte

Assessment criteria of behaviors

During practical activities, the accuracy and precision of the activities carried out by the student will be evaluated
