Ability of making judgements

• the student acquires knowledge of different programming languages and paradigms and is able to choose the best one based on the problem to be solved

Communication skills

• the student is able to evaluate the most suitable language for the implementation of an application that solves a given problem

Learning skills

• To introduce the main constructs of programming languages and to provide the tools necessary for the critical evaluation of programming languages.
• Acquire in-depth knowledge of the structures of programming languages that allow you to understand the actual ...

The lessons are arranged into Modules according to the arguments contents.

The main teaching methods are as follows:

lessons, to acquire the basic theoretical knowledge and all the language syntactic elements;

exercises proposed and solved by the teacher to develop student’s “problem solving” methodologies, to apply knowledge and to use the IDEs;

The teacher also proposes individual activities consisting in some problem that the student must solve independently and discuss with the classroom. 

Knowledge of basic computer architectures and their related issues, as well as assembly languages.

Basic knowledge of Computer Science.

Basic knowledge of software engineering.

Understanding of procedural and object-oriented programming paradigms.

Proficiency in the C and Java programming languages.

The development of an assignment assigned by the instructor and a subsequent oral exam after the discussion of the assignment is planned.

The student must fill out a request form for assignment of the assignment, containing some information based on which the instructor will proceed with the assignment of the assignment.

The request must be made during the lecture period, and the assigned assignment can be submitted within the academic year.

The submission of the assignment (code and report) must be done through the Microsoft Teams portal by the agreed-upon date at the time of assignment.

The assignment must be developed by groups of 2 students. Only in motivated cases will it be possible to develop the assignment individually.

The exam will be organized into two parts that will take place on the same day.

The first part will involve the discussion of the completed assignment, while the second part will involve a discussion of the entire program, and the ability to develop code in the 4 specified languages will be required.

The first part of the exam will have a value of 25%, while the second part will account for the remaining 75%.

Waiving the development of the assignment will allow for a maximum grade of 23 to be achieved
