10.    Course Goals (acquired competencies):  Introduction to programming. Concepts of programming and algorithms. After finishing the course the student will be able to write simple and more complex programmes in C programming language.

11.    Course Syllabus: Introduction to computer systems, components and organisation: processor, registers, memory. Programming. Programming languages. Syntax and semantics. Structure of a C program. Data types. Constants. Variables and types of variables. Operators. Logical and relational operations. Expressions. Basin input/output expressions. Commands for execution control of a program: branching statements (if-else, switch), repeating statements (for, while). Functions. Recursive functions. Complex program structures. Arrays. Pointers and pointer operations. Matrix. Concepts of searching through complex data structures. Ways of sorting. Textual arrays. Arguments in main() function. File concepts and structure.

19.    Conditions for acquiring teacher’s signature and for taking final exam Laboratory exercises
20.  Forms of assessment During the semester, two partial (or one full) exams are scheduled, along with two tests. The passing of the exam is based on passing the two partial (or one full) exam, where students are required to write small software solutions in C programming language. The tests are taken one week before the partial exams and are consisted of short questions from the curriculum. The partial/full exams take up to 80% of the grade, whereas the tests take up to 12% of the grade. The remaining 8% are from the laboratory exercises.
