Learning outcomes:
This module introduces students to the fundamentals of programming. The programming language used in this course is C. The aim of the course is to introduce students to those concepts and techniques of programming using an imperative language that are useful in solving complex problems. In the practical course, students will acquire a working knowledge of the basics of the C programming language by tackling programming tasks in small groups.
