Course Name (English) INTRODUCTION TO ALGORITHM DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT Course Code CSC121 MQF Credit 3 Course Description This course will introduce the concepts of computer systems in general and focus more on the problem-solving processes that involve algorithm design and developments. It will also introduce the students to the techniques of problem-solving using flowchart and pseudo-code in different types of programming control structures such as sequential, selection and repetition control structures. Students also will be introduced to the design of algorithms for modules or functions. Students are expected to analyze and develop algorithms or solutions to the given problems individually and in group projects and furthermore, demonstrate the good value and ethics through the assignments given. Transferable Skills Demonstrate computational problem-solving skills through algorithm design and development Teaching Methodologies Lectures, Lab Work, Project-based Learning, Problem-based Learning CLO CLO1 Apply the concepts of computer systems, problem solving and algorithm design and development CLO2 Display practical skills in algorithm design and developments for different types of programming control structures CLO3 Demonstrate professional and ethical practices in tasks related to problem-solving solutions and algorithm developments Pre-Requisite Courses No course recommendations Reading List Recommended Text Farrell, J.
