Learning outcomes
This course proposes providing the fundamentals skills in order to analyze and resolve problems by means of developing programs. The general objectives of this module are - the knowledge of the principles of programming and of programming languages, - the mastery of fundamental techniques for analyzing problems and developing their algorithmic solutions, - the introduction to the methods for the evaluation of correctness and efficiency of algorithms. In the laboratory, we will practice the above principles by means of a programming activity.

Examination Methods
The final exam consists of an oral exam: in order to be admitted to the final exam, the student must pass a preliminary written test.
The written test can be partially replaced by ongoing tests and activities.
The assessment methods could change according to the evolution of the general health situation and the academic rules.
