Course content
The course consists of two parts: ICT theory (1/3) and an introduction to procedure-oriented programming in Python (2/3).
ICT theory
Principles of computer operations.
Digital representation.
Data and software security.
Programming:
Variables and data types.
Input and output.
Control structures: Sequence, conditional program flow and repetitions.
Algorithms.
Structuring and modularization of programs; functions and modules.
Use of object-oriented libraries.
Data structures: Lists, tables, text strings, sets, tuples and dictionaries.
Persistent storage of data, file input and output, and exceptions.
Recursion, sorting and searching.
Formulation of algorithms as pseudo code or in flow diagrams.
Python as a programming environment.
Learning outcome
Knowledge:
Hold basic knowledge about information and communication technology (ICT): Computers, digital representation, algorithms, software, networks, and security.
Hold basic knowledge about the basic elements of procedure-oriented programming.
Hold basic knowledge about the process from a problem to a working program.
Familiarity with object oriented programming.
Skills:
Be able to use the basic elements in practical, procedure-oriented programming.
Be able to use object-oriented libraries and their method-calls.
Be able to use relevant programming tools, like IDLE or other syntax-driven editors with semantic error-tagging and step-wise execution with inspection of variables.
For small-scale problems, be able to use the process from analysis, via algorithm design formulated as pseudo code or in flow-charts, before programming in Python, and testing whether the solution works.
Be able to carry out small programming projects with a few hundred lines of code.
Be able to do simple analysis of how ICT systems work, for example how secure a system is.
Learning methods and activities
Lectures, exercise lectures, mandatory exercises, and a small mandatory project.
Compulsory assignments
- Exercises
Further on evaluation
The re-sit exam (continuation exam) may be changed from written to oral examination.
Recommended previous knowledge
None.
