Learning objectives
The course aims to provide the basic knowledge for writing programs in an imperative procedural language (e.g., C Language), with emphasis on the relationship between the program and the architecture of the computer running the program, on the concept of recursion and on the implementation of data structures. At the end of the course the students will have to demonstrate that they are able to translate an algorithm into a program written with an imperative procedural language by organizing the related data structures and to be able to optimize it through debugging and profiling techniques. The students must also demonstrate that they have the necessary skills to continue their studies independently in the field of programming and software development.

Evaluation criteria
To pass the exam, the students have to show:
- they have understood the principles related to the programming in C language;
- they are able to develop C code and to analyze its correctness and problems through debugging;
- they are able to apply the acquired knowledge to implement algorithms in C code by starting from specifications given as exercises.
The emphasis in the evaluation will be given to the ability to organize algorithms and data structures and to translate them into the C language.
Criteria for the composition of the final grade
The exam is unified with the Laboratory part. It consists of two partials. The first partial (maximum 32 points) will take place approximately in February and the second partial (maximum 32 points) in June. The exam will be considered passed if both partials are sufficient (>= 18/32). The final grade will be obtained by averaging the grades of the two partial exams ((partial_grade_1+partial_grade_2)/2). In addition to the partials, students have the normal 4 annual total exam sessions available, starting from the one in June, in which exams will be held on the entire program. The tasks (partial or total) consist of writing computer programs.

Type D and Type F activities
Students can choose the type D training activities among a catalogue of courses, while type F activities provide additional knowledge useful for entering the job market (internships, transferable skills, project works, etc.). According to the Degree Programme description and regulation, some activities can be chosen and added autonomously by the students to the academic record, whereas others must be approved by a committee to verify their coherence with the study plan. Type D or F training activities can be covered by the following activities:
1. Courses offered at the University of Verona:
This includes the course listed below and/or in the Course Catalogue (which can be filtered by language using advanced search)
Procedure for adding courses to the academic record: Ig the course is among those listed below or in the Catalogue, the student can add it independently when the study plan is open for modifications; otherwise, the student must request approval from the Student Office by sending the form to carriere.scienze@ateneo.univr.it during the specified periods.
Starting from students enrolled in the Academic Year 2022/2023, courses offered in the 2nd and 3rd years of the study plan can be autonomously added to the academic record.
There is no need to submit the request to add the following courses to the academic record to the “Commissione Pratiche Studenti”: Database and Web (BSc in Bioinformatics); General Biology (BSc in Bionformatics); Molecular Biology (BSc in Bioinformatics); Probaility and Statistics (BSc in Computer Science); Programming and Network Security (BSc in Computer Science).
2. CLA Language Certification or Equivalence
Beside to to those already required by the study plan, the following language certifications can be added as additional training activities for students enrolled in the academic years 2021/2022 and 2022/2023:
English language: 3 CFU will be granted for each level of proficiency above the level required by the study program (if not already granted in the previous degree programme).
Other languages and Italian for foreigners: 3 CFU will be granted for each level of proficiency starting from A2 (if not already granted in the previous degree programme).
These CFU will be granted as type D activities and up to a 3 CFU in total. In case the language certification is dated prior to 27/10/2023 (date of the vote of the Teaching Board of Information Engineering) the maximum CFU to be granted can be extended to 6, as for previous regulation. Additional credits for language knowledge can only be granted if consistent with the student's educational project and adequately justified.
For students enrolled in the academic year 2023/2024, credits for language certifications beyond those specified in the teaching plan will be recorded as extra type D CFU.
Procedure for adding the relevant academic record: Request the certificate or equivalence certificate to the CLA and send it to the Student Administration Office via email (carriere.scienze@ateneo.univr.it) for the exam to be recorded.
3. Transferable Skills
Discover the training paths promoted by TALC – Teaching and Learning Center of the University, intended for students regularly enrolled in the Academic Year offering the modules https://talc.univr.it/en/competenze-trasversali
Procedure for adding the relevant academic record: the modules will not be added to the study plan, but CFU will be granted after obtaining the Open Badge. The procedure may require a certain amount of time to reach a conclusion.
4. Contamination Lab
The Contamination Lab Verona (CLab Verona) is an experiential program with modules dedicated to innovation and corporate culture that offers the opportunity to work in teams with students from all degree programs to solve challenges posed by companies and organizations. The program allows receiving 6 type D or F CFU. Discover the challenges: https://www.univr.it/en/clabverona.
NOTE: To be admitted to any educational activity, including electives, students must be enrolled in the specific Academic Year of the course being offered. Therefore, it is recommended that those who foresee to graduate December and April sessions do NOT undertake extracurricular activities for the new Academic Year in which they are not enrolled, as these graduation sessions are valid for the previous Academic Year. Therefore, modules carried out in an Academic Year when the students is not enrolled with the University of Verona, the relevant CFU will not be recorded.
5. Internship/Stage and other activities
The student must complete a 7 CFU internship and attend a 2 CFU module on “Medical Systems Seminars”.
Annually, the Internship Committee (tirocini-ismp@ateneo.univr.it) proposes a list of internship projects from which students can choose in line with their study plan and interests. The list can be complemented, after the approval of the Internship Committee, with proposals made by students who independently look for internship opportunities within the departments of the universities involved in the Degree programme, or within external organizations/companies. The management of the internship process is detailed in the Vademecum delle Attività di Tirocinio. Here is the relevant information page (with a link to Moodle) and here the general information on how to activate an internship.
Please note that for internships starting from October 1, 2024 with external partners/company, extra hours can lead to extra type D CFU.

Attendance modes and venues
The inter-university nature of the course of study lies in the cooperation of the three universities in the provision of faculty. Therefore, teaching delivery takes place at the administrative and teaching site in Verona and not in the partner universities. This means that it is not possible to attend this bachelor's degree program in the University of Trento or Modena-Reggio Emilia; however, it is possible to use the study spaces of the partner universities, thanks to the agreement between them.
As stated in the Didactic Regulations, course attendance is not mandatory.
Part-time enrolment is permitted. Find out more on the Part-time enrolment possibilities page.
The course's teaching activities take place in the Science and Engineering area, which consists of the buildings of Ca‘ Vignal 1, Ca’ Vignal 2, Ca' Vignal 3 and Piramide, located in the Borgo Roma campus.
Lectures are held in the classrooms of Ca‘ Vignal 1, Ca’ Vignal 2 and Ca' Vignal 3, while practical exercises take place in the teaching laboratories dedicated to the various activities.

Graduation
The final exam carries 6CFU.
The final exam is taken at the presence of two faculty members, including the Supervisor, and consists of one or both of the following options:
-
A brief written report, which may also be in English, describing the thesis work;
-
An oral presentation, supported by slides (such as PowerPoint), that illustrates the thesis work, which may also be in English.
Following the exam, the graduation takes place on the dates set in the Academic Calendar.
The final degree score is determined by a Graduation Committee composed of at least three faculty members, including the supervisor. The supervisor can be any tenured professor from the University of Verona, the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia, or the University of Trento. Committee members must belong to a scientific-disciplinary sector (SSD) within the degree programme plan.
The Graduation Committee assigns a final grade on a scale of 110, with the possibility of honors. The minimum score required to pass the final exam is 66/110. The admission grade is determined by converting the weighted average of the course grades (based on CFUs) to a 110-point scale and rounding to the nearest whole number.

There may be an increase of up to 8/110 points on the admission grade, with the final exam being worth up to 4 of points, and 4 points for the evaluation of the student's academic curriculum.
The evaluation of the academic curriculum is based on the following criteria (which positively account for honors and Erasmus periods and negatively for any delays in the course of study):
-
If on time: 3.5 + 0.2 * number of honors;
-
If delayed: 3.5 - 0.5 * number of extra years + 0.1 * number of honors;
-
1 point for every 3 months of completed Erasmus study.
Additionally, 2 extra points will be awarded for completing at least 12 CFU at foreign universities.
In any case, the total increase from the evaluation of the thesis and the academic record cannot exceed 8 points.
The award of final honors, in the case of a score of at least 110, is at the discretion of the Graduation Committee and is only granted if the committee's decision is unanimous.
