The teaching of Computer Science aims to provide knowledge and skills that allow the student to use the computer as a tool for the automation of the most common and elementary activities related to information processing.
With the study of Computer Science the student will be able to achieve the following educational objectives:
In terms of knowledge and comprehension:
- to know the information processing systems;
- to know the differences between different types of IT tools.
In terms of ability to apply knowledge and understanding:
- use information processing systems and languages for querying databases
- use software platforms for e-learning and online training.
In terms of autonomy of judgment:
- to orient oneself critically in the use of simple information processing systems, and to carry out some simple queries on these.
In terms of communication skills:
- use the computer as a tool for the automation of the most common and elementary activities related to information processing.
In terms of learning ability:
- deepen the evolution of technologies for social media, social networking and social reading.

Type of delivery of the course
Teaching will be done by using an e-learning platformType of evaluation
There is a written test, which last 60 minutes and consist in 50 multiple choice questions on all the topics of the course. All, students not having the ECDL have to take only the written test. Who has the ECDL has to take an oral test. Students not passing a test may repeat the test on the next session.
