| Methods and Techniques | 1. Theoretical Explanation: Topics are explained theoretically within the course. Students listen to lectures to understand the fundamental concepts of programming and the logic of algorithms. 2. Practical Activities: Students, under the guidance of the course instructor, practice various examples to put the theoretical concepts into practice. They strive to achieve specific learning outcomes. 3. Step-by-Step Solution: Problems encountered are solved step-by-step, explaining how each step works. This method helps students gain a deeper understanding of the topics. 4. Real-Life Examples: Real-life examples and problem scenarios are presented to enhance understanding of the topics. This allows students to see how to apply what they have learned in practice. 5. Lab Handouts and Quizzes: Student progress is assessed and understanding of the topics is monitored through weekly lab handouts and pre-exam quizzes. |
