Objectives

This unit  aims at providing key basic technical concepts when using and programming computers, namely in an Unix/Linux environment . It strengthens the knowledge acquired inprevious units, such as Introduction to Computers and Imperative Programming.

Learning outcomes and competences

The student should use an Unix/Linux environment effectively:

1. use a CLI environment;
2. be able to write scripts that automatize data processing tasks;
3. implement C programs with an advanced use of pointers and structures;
4. develop a software project from a specification;
5. understand the fundamentals of the development of a software project.

Working method

Presencial

Pre-requirements (prior knowledge) and co-requirements (common knowledge)

We would expect the students to have attended "Introdução aos Computadores" and "Programação Imperativa", and they should be participating, or have experience in Data Structures.

Program

- Introduction to bash:
   - basic command line tasks;
   - file manipulation;
   - advanced commands;
   - tool composition.
- Programação em C utilizando estruturas e apontadores;
- File manipulation in C;
- Development of software projects.

Teaching methods and learning activities

This component is organised as labs:
- small task resolution;
- project execution.

An automatic program validation platform will be made available. Components of the proposed projects shall be submited in this plataform.

Evaluation Type

Distributed evaluation without final exam

Assessment Components

designation	Weight (%)
Trabalho laboratorial	100,00
Total:	100,00

Amount of time allocated to each course unit

designation	Time (hours)
Elaboração de projeto	53,00
Frequência das aulas	28,00

Eligibility for exams

The following components is mandatory:
- Self-assessment tasks (project components).
- Two tests (project evaluation).

Calculation formula of final grade

The final grade is determined by the the weighted average of
- Class activities (A);
- two tests (T1, T2) for the project evaluation:

GRADE = 0.15 A + 0.425 (T1 + T2)

If it is not possible to take the tests in person, they will be replaced by a final exam.

Special assessment (TE, DA, ...)

Assement follows the same criteria described above as for ordinary students.

Classification improvement

Observations

Classes and the evaluation may be adjusted according to the evolution of the COVID-19 pandemic.
