Teaching language

Portuguese

Objectives

To initiate students in imperative programming by presenting fundamental concepts of algorithmics and knowledge of the C programming language. To enable students with the ability of building algorithms from informal specifications. Introduce some fundamental algorithms. 

 

 

 

 

 

Learning outcomes and competences

The goal is that students get familiar with the algorithmic problem-solving process and simple algorithms and data structures (such as counting, searching and sorting) and acquire good programming skills.

Working method

Presencial

Program

Algorithms and computer programs. Fundamental constructs: numeric data, variables and expressions; assignment; basic data types (integers, floating point numbers, characters). Procedures and functions; parameter passing; scope of variables. Conditional and iterative control structures (basic cycles for/while). Simple IO.  Structured decomposition. Introduction to compound data types (arrays and linked lists).

Teaching methods and learning activities

Lectures: oral presentation of the concepts and techniques, with some examples and exercises. 

Labs: solving programming problems and implementing them in C language.

Software

gcc - gnu c compiler

Evaluation Type

Distributed evaluation with final exam

Assessment Components

Eligibility for exams

Fails the student whom:
- exceeds 25% of absenses in lab classes;
OR
- is absent in both practical tests.

Calculation formula of final grade

Final mark takes into account intermidiate and final exam results:

      P1, P2: grades of practical tests, possibly with some theoretical component.
      MP: max(P1,P2)
      PP: min(P1,P2)
      EF: mark in final exam

      Final mark is F = (EF*14 +4*MP + 2*PP)/20

Classification improvement

Students can improve the final exam mark in accordance with the general regulations.
