Planned learning activities and teaching methods

Teaching methods depend on the type of course unit as specified in the article 7 of BUT Rules for Studies and Examinations.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

The student can obtain up to 22 points for the activity in computer labs, up to 20 points for tests in semester and 28 points for the final test. An individual project in C can be honored by 30 points (maximally).

Course curriculum

Algorithmization (extensions of basic knowledge from the previous semester). Definition of the task, the definition of inputs / outputs, expressing
an algorithm in meta-language, rewritting into programming language. Introduction to C language. Basic types of variables, derived types, constants, arrays.
