Objectives and competences
Student acquires basic knowledge of using computers and learn about basic programming techniques.
Intended learning outcomes
Knowledge and understanding: Knowledge of the basics of programming.
Application: Basic computer literacy is indispensable to successful study. Knowledge gained from this course will be used throughout the study.
Reflection: Without basic computer literacy a modern study is impossible. Ability of programming allows the user a higher level of control over the computer and allows him to solve the problems that cannot be solved by the usual applications.
Transferable skills: This course is the basis for all courses that require the use of computers and programming skills (other computer and numerical courses).
Learning and teaching methods
lab work
homework assigments
consultations
Assessment
Written exam
grading: 5 (fail), 6-10 (pass) (according to the Statute of UL)
