| Methods and Techniques | 1. Theoretical Lecture: Topics are explained theoretically within the scope of the course. Students listen to lectures to understand the basic concepts of programming and the logic of algorithms. 2. Practical Work: Students work with various examples under the mentorship of the course instructor to apply the topics explained theoretically. Efforts are made to achieve learning outcomes. 3. Step-by-Step Solution: Problems are solved step-by-step, and how each step works is explained. This method helps students gain a better understanding of the topics. 4. Real-Life Examples: Real-life examples and problem scenarios are presented to help students better understand the topics. This allows students to see how to use what they have learned in practice. 5. Laboratory Worksheets and Quizzes: Weekly laboratory worksheets and pre-exam quizzes are used to evaluate students' progress and monitor their understanding of the topics. |

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.
