- Course Content
The course covers advanced programming techniques. Students learn to use a system language for programming embedded systems, the organization of data structures and interfacing with the operating system.
Lecture:
- Structure of the computer
- Representation of numbers
- Level programming languages
- Introduction to C
- Simple datastructures
- Pointers
- Data Structures: Lists, Stacks, Queues
- Trees
- Hash tables
- Lineair programming
Practical exercises and independent work:
In the exercises, gradually more difficult issues will be resolved, which practice algorithmic thinking accompanied by programming efficiency and targeted debugging techniques.

Objectives
- Grading
-
The final grade is composed based on the following categories:
Other Exam determines 100% of the final mark.
Within the Other Exam category, the following assignments need to be completed:
- Other Exam
with a relative weight of 100
which comprises 100% of the final mark.
Note: Exam time 1st session:
Lecture and practical exercises:
- Oral exam with written preparation: 40% (not transferred to 2nd session)
- Evaluation of assignments and tasks: 60% (not transferred to 2nd session)
Exam time 2nd session:
Lecture and practical exercises:
- Oral exam with written preparation: 40%
- Evaluation of project: 60%
When achieving a result of less than 8 out of 20 on one of the parts, then the lowest number becomes the final result for this course.
- Additional info regarding evaluation
The exam for this course starts with a threshold question that consists of several short questions about content that is deemed necessary to comprehend the course. The relevant content for this threshold question is clearly communicated via Canvas. If the score for this threshold question is less than 8 out of 10, the exam will be stopped.
An illegitimate absence of more than 25 % for the practical exercise sessions leads to a refusal to participate in the practical exercises exam. This leads to an absent quotation for the related exam. The sanctions taken in the first exam session are transferred to the second exam session.
- Allowed unsatisfactory mark
- The supplementary Teaching and Examination Regulations of your faculty stipulate whether an allowed unsatisfactory mark for this programme unit is permitted.
