DatZ1009, Introduction to Programming I

Course abstract

The aim of the study course is to introduce students to the elements of a modern object-oriented programming language - data type conversion, classes and objects, exception handling mechanisms. Within the course, the specifics of using functions in working with various data types are examined in depth. In practical exercises, students acquire skills in creating simple programs using objects and classes in programming language C#

Learning outcomes and their assessment

As a result of learning the course, students:
• knows the basic principles of programming (tests, exam);
• knows how to code and debug programs, use good programming style (laboratory work, test work);
• are able to independently code and debug programs for performing simple calculations and data processing tasks without using data management systems (tests, exam).

Requirements for awarding credit points

It is necessary to attend at least 50% of the practical classes. Must have a written exam task.

Description of the organization and tasks of students’ independent work

During the semester, students must complete the practical work using the assignment descriptions, in consultation with the head of laboratory work and the lecturer.

Criteria for Evaluating Learning Outcomes

The exam grade is formed as an accumulative evaluation from two parts - the evaluation of laboratory works and tests (40%), the evaluation of the exam task (60%).
