| 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
The aim of this course is to advance students who have basic programming knowledge in algorithmic thinking skills and C programming language competence. Students will gain in-depth knowledge on topics such as more complex data structures, memory management and pointer manipulation, and will be able to develop applications using advanced C features such as dynamic memory management and file operations. In addition, students will learn to develop, analyze and optimize effective algorithms for solving complex problems.
At the end of the course, students will experience software development processes with comprehensive project-based studies, expand their knowledge in C language and gain proficiency in data structures and algorithms. This course aims to provide a solid foundation in C programming language to support professional level software development skills.
