Programming Foundations (1 º Sem 2020/2021)

All the classes take place at a computer lab and are of both theoretical and practical nature. The lecturer makes an initial presentation of concepts that are immediately put to practice using illustrative exercises and case studies. There will be a standard python environment provided in the computer lab (compiler and IDE) but students can also use alternative environments as well as their own computers.
Assessment will consist in individual quizzes assigned during the semester (30%), a small group project to be presented by the end of the semester (30%) and an individual final exam (40%).
