NOC | Introduction to Programming in C

Course abstract

This is a course in programming in C. No prior programming experience is assumed; however, mathematical maturity at the level of a second year science or engineering undergraduate is assumed.

We emphasize solving problems using the language, and introduce standard programming techniques like alternation, iteration and recursion. We will briefly glimpse the basics of software engineering practices like modularization, commenting, and naming conventions which help in collaborating and programming in teams.

Given a problem, we pay attention to the following questions:

What is an algorithmic solution to the problem?
How do we translate the algorithm into C code?
How efficient is the code?
How maintainable is the code?

It is expected that by the end of the course, students will be comfortable in :-

Attempting algorithmic solutions to problems
Designing and coding moderate sized programs running to the order of a few hundred lines of code, and
Reading, understanding and modifying code written by others.

Final Score Calculation Logic

Assignment Score = Average of best 6 out of 8 assignments. Exam Score = 50% of Certification Exam Score out of 100 Final Score(Score on Certificate)= 50% of Exam Score +25%Unproctored programming exam score+ 25% of Assignment Score NOTE: Assignment score/week = average of scores of all assignments in that week Best of 6/8 such assignments will be considered for assignment scores Average of Best 2 out of 3 unproctored score has been taken in a session
