Methods and Techniques 1. Teorik Anlatım: Konular ders kapsamında teorik olarak anlatılır. Öğrenciler programlamanın temel kavramlarını ve algoritmaların mantığını kavrayabilmeleri için konu anlatımları dinler. 2. Uygulamalı Çalışmalar: Öğrenciler, teorik olarak anlatılan konuların uygulamasını yapmak için ders eğitmeni mentorlüğünde çeşitli örneklerle çalışmalar gerçekleştirir. Kazanımlar elde edilmeye çalışılır. 3. Adım Adım Çözümleme: Karşılaşılan problemler adım adım çözülerek her adımın nasıl işlediği açıklanır. Bu yöntemle öğrencilerin konulara daha hakim olması sağlanır. 4.Gerçek Hayat Örnekleri: Konuların daha iyi anlaşılması için gerçek hayattan örnekler ve problem senaryoları sunulur. Böylece öğrenciler öğrendiklerini pratikte nasıl kullanacağını görür. 5. Laboratuvar Föyleri ve Quizler: Haftalık laboratuvar föyleri ve sınav öncesi quizler ile öğrencilerin ilerlemesi değerlendirilir, konuların anlaşılıp anlaşılmadığı takip edilir.

Objectives of the Course
The aim of this course is to teach students the basic principles, architecture and areas of use of blockchain technology. The course provides students with an understanding of how blockchain systems work, the advantages and limitations of distributed ledger technology, and introduces basic concepts such as cryptography, data security and smart contracts.

The course will focus on how blockchain is used in different sectors, the structure of cryptocurrencies and decentralized applications (DApps), digital identity verification and data management. In addition, practical work will be done with blockchain platforms (Ethereum, Hyperledger, Bitcoin etc.).

At the end of the course, students will understand the basics of blockchain architecture, learn how to use this technology in their projects and gain the ability to analyze innovative solutions offered by blockchain.
