Argomenti dell'insegnamento
This course belongs to the type "Attività formativa caratterizzante" and the subject area is "Scientifico-Tecnologico". The course is designed to help students develop generic, object-oriented and functional programming skills. After completing the course, students should be able to implement algorithms to solve simple programming problems and select appropriate data structures, write readable, concise, modular, and documented code.

Modalità di insegnamento
The course includes frontal lectures and lab exercises.

Modalità d'esame
The assessment is based on optional individual assignments and a final exam. The assignments focus on topics taught during lectures and are designed to motivate students to study throughout the semester while consolidating the theoretical concepts covered in class. The exam evaluates whether students have acquired the expected notions and programming skills.

Criteri di valutazione
The final mark is based on the marks obtained in the assignments and the mark of the exam. Each assignment with a mark superior to the exam mark counts for 5% of the final mark. The other assignments are ignored. Here is an example. Alice gets 24/30 at the final exam. She also did 3 of the 5 assignments, and got the following marks: - Assignment 1: 28/30 - Assignment 2: 18/30 - Assignment 5: 30/30 Assignment 2 is ignored for Alice, because her mark at this assignment (10/30) is inferior to her final exam mark (24/30). The other two assignments count for 5% each. So her final mark will be 25/30 and is computed as follows: - 90% for the final exam, - 5% for Assignment 1, and - 5% for Assignment 5. After submitting and assignment, students must attend the following lab (online or in presence). During this lab, they may be asked to explain their solutions.
