Introduction to Programming
This is an introductory programming course for IT law, Science & Technology, Quantitative Economy, Business Administration, Geoinformatics for Urbanised Society, Innovation and Technology Management students; the students of other departments who aim to pick up programming can also join the course.
The course consists of video lectures of Charles Severance and practice sessions.
Before each practice session, the students have to watch the video lectures, solve a test concerning the current topic in Moodle and solve homework exercises and submit the programs into Moodle (deadline is every Thursday 23:59 Estonian time). During the practice sessions, the main topics will be reviewed and some exercises will be solved. The students have to submit all programs written during the session right after it to Moodle.
The online and in person practice sessions take place from week 2 to week 10.
Information about the grading system is here.
More detailed information will be given in the first practice session on week 2 (09.09.2022).
