Course Outline For Programming

This 42-hour course introduces students to C programming techniques for solving simple to moderate problems using a structured approach. Over 15 weeks, students will learn about variables, data types, control structures, functions, arrays, and file input/output through lectures, labs, assignments and assessments. By the end of the course students should be able to solve problems systematically using C programming logic and develop complete programs for problems individually. Student learning will be evaluated through assignments, quizzes, lab exercises, mid-semester exam, and a final exam.

SYNOPSIS
As a fundamental subject, this course equips the students with theory and practice on problem solving
techniques by using the structured approach. Students are required to develop programs using C
programming language, in order to solve simple to moderate problems. The course covers the following:
preprocessor directives, constants and variables, data types, input and output statements, text files,
control structures: sequential, selection and loop. It may also include arrays and basic library functions.
