This course is an introduction to Computer Science. Its goal is to help the students develop problem-solving skills, computational thinking, and acquire the fundamental programming skills necessary during the rest of the curriculum. The goals of this course are:
- We will study several simple computational problems, some of the algorithms that solve them, and discuss these solutions.
- We will learn structured and procedural programming in the C programming language and develop several programs to implement these algorithms.
- We will learn several data types, their structure and representation in memory, and ways to manage the memory in a program.
2. Coursework
Coursework amounts to:
- Two lectures per week. Attendance is highly recommended.
- Several homework assignments that aim to improve understanding of the material, timed to coincide with the related lectures. All coding exercises will use the C programming language. Each student must work separately for homework assignments.
- One midterm exam. Exam material is everything covered in lectures until the midterm.
- One final exam. Exam material is everything taught during the term.
3. Grading
| Homework assignments: | 4 points |
| Midterm: | 2 points |
| Final exam (or repeat exam): | 4 points |
- Requirement for passing grade is 50% on the final exam.
