To provide the basics of "computer culture" through the introduction of effective methodological and conceptual tools, aiming to face in a flexible way the evolution of technology and the broad world of applications, emphasizing the role of Computer Science as a discipline for the automatic solution of problems.
Specific objectives:
- To understand the essential elements related to computer architecture and operating systems, as well as information representation;
- To gain the ability to design and code simple algorithms using structured programming and basic programming techniques such as iteration, as well as elementary data structures;
- To understand and use testing methodologies (debugging) for the produced code.

The exam consists of some multiple-choice answers and of some programming exercises, to be realized on a computer. Two intermediate examinations, together with a preliminary one, replace the exam, if passed with success. Student assessment is based on the Dublin Descriptors and takes into account the level of knowledge, understanding, and critical processing of the topics covered in the course. Students who demonstrate that they have acquired the fundamental concepts and are able to apply them in simple contexts will receive a passing grade. Average grades will be awarded to those who, in addition to mastering the basics, show the ability to analyze and independently elaborate on more complex concepts. The highest grades are reserved for students who demonstrate in-depth understanding, synthesis skills, critical thinking, and autonomy in solving problems, including new ones or those not explicitly addressed during the course.Canali
