Course overview and goals
This course focuses on basic skills of information processing using computer programming language C. Fundamentals of structures in data sets and control statements are presented while typical algorithms and program codes are introduced as a basic of computer science.
Course description and aims
By the end of this course, students will be able to:
(1) understand foundation of data processing using programming language C
(2) learn techniques of computer algorithms, data processing techniques and data structures
Keywords
Computer programming, algorithm, data structure, data processing
Competencies
- Specialist skills
- Intercultural skills
- Communication skills
- Critical thinking skills
- Practical and/or problem-solving skills
Class flow
At the beginning of each class, a short lecture will be given. Some computer programming excercises are provided. Towards the end of class, students are given some small project to perform calculations. To prepare for class, students should read the course schedule section and check what topics will be covered. Required learning should be completed outside of the classroom for preparation and review purposes.
