Methods and Techniques 1. Theoretical Instruction: Topics are presented theoretically within the scope of the course. Students attend lectures to grasp fundamental programming concepts and the logic behind algorithms. 2. Practical Exercises: Students work on various examples under the mentorship of the instructor to apply the topics covered in theory, aiming to consolidate their learning and skills. 3. Step-by-Step Analysis: Problems encountered are solved step-by-step, with an explanation of how each step functions. This method ensures students gain a deeper command of the subject matter. 4. Real-Life Examples: Real-life examples and problem scenarios are presented to facilitate a better understanding of the topics, allowing students to see how to apply what they have learned in practice. 5. Laboratory Worksheets and Quizzes: Weekly laboratory worksheets and pre-exam quizzes are used to assess student progress and monitor their understanding of the material.

Objectives of the Course
Main goal of the course; To teach students the fundamentals of programming and the principles of algorithm design. Students will gain the algorithmic thinking structure and develop various problem solving techniques using this structure. Additionally, they will learn the basic building blocks of the software development process by practicing coding in C, a low-level and powerful programming language.

Within the scope of the course, students learn basic programming topics such as variables, data types, operators, control structures, loops, functions and data structures; They will gain the skills of establishing algorithms, analyzing problems, producing solutions and coding these solutions effectively. This course aims to reinforce algorithmic thinking skills for introductory C programming language students, creating a solid foundation for transitioning to more complex software development topics in the future.
