The goal of this course is to give to the students the fundamental knowledge of programming, using C as the supporting programming language.
At the end of this course unit, the students should be able to:
• Plan simple computer programs for console generic applications;
• Implement such programs in source-code of the C programming language and in executable files.
Introduction. Variables and basic data types. Control structures. Functions. Generic arrays and strings. Simple data structures. Dynamic structures. Files: text and binary.
The classes comprise both lectures and laboratory programming. The lectures present the main theoretical topics as well as illustrating exercises. In the programming laboratory, the students are expected to plan, write, execute and improve simple console programs. The main computing environment is Linux with clang. There are also sessions of accompanied study besides the regular classes. All the documents related to the course unit are available in the FEUP's Moodle environment and some of the evaluation exams are also conducted through this environment.

The students should not exceed the limit of allowed classes' absences and should get at least 40% of the maximum grade for the classes evaluation part of the final grade (F in the marks' formula below).
* Final Grade = 0,4 F + 0,6 MT
* Continuous evaluation F = 0,5 UT + 0,375 PE + 0,125 P
where:
UT = 1/3 UT1 + 1/3 UT2 + 1/3 UT3
UT1,UT2,UT3 - grade of the 3 micro-tests (during lab classes)
PE - grade of the preparation of problems that apply the course's content
P - grade of the overall participation and performance during the lectures and lab classes
* Minitests MT = 1/3 MT1 + 2/3 MT2
where:
MT1,MT2 - grade of the 2 minitests
* Final grade combining all components
Final Grade = 0,2 UT + 0,15 PE + 0,05 P + 0,2 MT1 + 0,4 MT2
Coherence between individual and group grade: the continuous evaluation grade must not exceed five (5) values of the minitests grade (the reverse does not apply).
Evaluation of Tests and micro-tests:
-
In the occasions specifically mentioned in the law, there will be a global evaluation consisting of an exam lasting for 2 hours, where the student is expected to answer a number of questions of multiple choice and to write some C programs. The students that are allowed by law to ask for this kind of examination, can also let go of this special privilege and be evaluated as regular students.
The final grade of the unit course can be improved, but only in the following year; it consists of the same examinations that will be required in the following year. Eventually, at the student request, only one of the items, F or MT, of the final grade can be improved.
The students should conduct themselves with both commitment and honour. In case of cheating, the Course Director will be informed (it is reminded that there are specific laws regarding university cheating, e.g. art. 14th of Decision number 1536/2005 of the dean of U.Porto, DR. nº 225 of 23.Nov.2005). The teachers will be available for the clarification of unit course topics and for supporting the students, making it possible for them to best learn the presented topics.
