	Objectives
	THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS COURSE IS TO PROVIDE STUDENTS WITH THE BASIC TECHNIQUES OF STRUCTURED PROGRAMMING AND TO INTRODUCE THE BASIC CONCEPTS OF OBJECT-ORIENTED PROGRAMMING THROUGH THE DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF PROGRAMS USING THE PYTHON PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE (PYTHON 3). KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING - STUDENTS WILL ACQUIRE THE KNOWLEDGE OF STRUCTURED PROGRAMMING AND BASIC CONCEPTS OF OBJECT-ORIENTED PROGRAMMING. ABILITY TO APPLY KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING - THANKS TO THE THEORETICAL NOTIONS AND PRACTICAL EXAMPLES PROVIDED IN THE LESSONS, STUDENTS WILL BE ABLE TO IMPLEMENT PROGRAMS USING THE PYTHON PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE.

	Teaching Methods
	THE COURSE INCLUDES BOTH FRONTAL AND LABORATORY LESSONS. ALTHOUGH ATTENDANCE TO LESSONS IS NOT MANDATORY, IT IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED.

	Verification of learning
	THE ACHIEVEMENT OF THE TEACHING OBJECTIVES IS CERTIFIED BY PASSING A WRITTEN AND/OR PRACTICAL AND/OR ORAL TEST WITH A MARK OUT OF THIRTY. THE EXAM TESTS AIM TO ASSESS THE LEVEL OF KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING THE STUDENT ATTAINED, AS WELL AS THE ABILITY TO APPLY THE ATTAINED KNOWLEDGE.
