Learning objectives
The goal is to introduce students to structured imperative programming and small-scale problem solving
Expected learning outcomes
The student should acquire the ability to write and tune a program that automatizes a simple task; moreover, (s)he should be able to understand how a small piece of code works, to find the reasons of a malfunction and to correct it appropriately

Assessment methods and Criteria
The exam consists of a lab test on programming skills and an individual exam on the methodological and theoretical topics.
The examination procedure is the following:
- the student registers to the call in the online system;
- the student undertakes the lab test; the score is published on the ARIEL website of the lab course as soon as the correction process is completed;
- the students with a sufficient score are contacted for the schedule of the methodological and theoretical test by the teacher via email;
- the students undertake the methodological and theoretical test by interview; the score is given directly at the end of the interview.
The exam is passed only with a sufficient score in both tests (lab and theory); in this case the final score is the arithmetic mean of the scores of the two tests, possibly rounded and corrected by either an increase or a decrease of maximum two points, according to the evaluation of the teacher.
