| Course Description |
This course is an introduction to problem solving using a structured programming language. It emphasizes algorithm development; pseudocodes and flowchart, writing computer programs, as well as common good practices in writing programs. Students will be taught to create, compile and run programs in a structured programming language chosen and solve problems involving the 5 basic algorithms: summation, average, counting, as well as determining the minimum and maximum values of a set of data. Teaching methods will involve lectures and practical computer lab work. Students will be assessed through written assessments as well as programming assignments. In the end they are expected to work in a team to analyze simple real-world problems, organize effective algorithmic solutions for the problems and construct computer programs to solve them. |
