Introduction
This course is focusing on the development of basic programming techniques, analytical thinking, comprehension of code and problem-solving skills achieved through a programming-based approach. It also focuses on developing programming skills relevant for personal and professional use. It provides theoretical and practical exposure to different programming technologies and programming concepts such as object-oriented programming, web-programming etc.
Recommended preliminary courses
To understand some of the concepts presented in this course, it is recommended to have completed mathematics at least at high school algebra Level.
Required preliminary courses
No additional requirements to the general requirements for the Summer School.

Teaching and learning methods
The course will take a project-based learning approach. Course participants will work in groups on a project and this project will be evaluated at the end of the course based on group presentation and final report.
This course is a four week in-person module that culminates in an oral exam. Feedback from the oral exam provides a basis for the independent study carried out part-time online and culminate in the submission of the final report.
Course requirements
None.
Assessment
Portfolio assessment. The student groups submit a portfolio consisting of a code repository and an oral presentation.
Each group may consist of 2-5 candidates.
The portfolio is graded as a whole and given one grade. The result cannot be appealed.
Permitted exam materials and equipment
No support material is permitted in the exams.
Grading scale
Pass or fail.
Examiners
Two internal examiners will be used. External examiner is used regularly.
