The course aims to provide knowledge and skills that allow the students to use the computer as a tool for the automation of the most common and elementary activities related to information processing.
- Knowledge and understanding: Computer knowledge, understanting of the potentiality of the computer, knowledge of the information coding
- Applying knowledge and understanding: Ability to use the computer and the tool for computing fo information processing and communication
- Making judgements: The ability to understand the potential that any computing device (smartphone, laptop, PC, ecc) isable to do independeently fro the future evolution of the market
- Learning skills: be able to adapt to the changes in the future of the market and of the technology.

There are traditional lectures and session of exercises in the "Piazza Telematica" laboratoryAttendance
Attendance is free and not mandatory, but strongly recommended.Type of evaluation
The exam consist in set of 30 multiple choice questions to be completed in 40 minutes. The test is aimed at verifying the ability to understand the representation of information in computer science such as the binary positional representation, the representation of characters, the representation of images and sounds. To understand elements of the theory of computation, the computer hardware architecture, the Python language, computer networks, operating systems (OS). The written exam will test the ability to convert binary-decimal and decimal-binary. It enables them to use spreadsheets and manage and modify the data they contain.
