Introduction to Programming
- This is a programming course for Information Technology Systems Development students at Narva College.
- The course consists of video lectures of Charles Severance and practice sessions.
- The practice sessions are at Raekoja plats 2 - 321 from week 2 to week 16.
- Information about the grading system is here.
- More detailed information will be given in the first practice session on week 2 (12.09.2018).
- In case of any questions, post a message into forums in Moodle or ask the supervisors:
Ljubov Jaanuska (ljubov.jaanuska at ut.ee)
Reimo Palm (reimo.palm at ut.ee)
Before each practice session:
* watch video lectures
* solve a test on the corresponding topic in Moodle
* solve exercises and submit the solutions into Moodle.
During the practice sessions, the main topics and exercises will be reviewed and more exercises will be solved. At the end of each session, a small test will be conducted.
Tips for success:
We encourage to get together with course mates to discuss the material and practicals. It is OK to discuss the home assignments with other students, discuss specific algorithms, properties of algorithms, etc.
We ask only not look at any source code written by other students, nor show your solution code to other students.
