1) To introduce students to the notion of problem solving through use of computer applications 2) To provide students with a basic understanding of algorithms and their uses 3) To provide students with the additional experience of developing and using simple software programs to help solve particular problems 4) To prepare students with a basic introduction to the techniques of data handling and processing and to the syntax of programming languages for their work on the later years of a Computing degree

This module recognises that students will come onto the programme with a wide range of experience with computers and in computer programming. The syllabus aims to give students the opportunity to study problem solving techniques and to see how data processing, the use of algorithms and aids to logical thinking can be deployed in designing software applications to assist in solving practical and everyday problems. Students are introduced to the notion of programming and the syntax appropriate to programming languages but no particular language is studied in detail. The module’s intention is to build and refine transferable skills that will be of use to the students when they progress onto the later years of their Computer Science degree. Key topics Problem solving techniques Data capture, handling and representation Construction and use of algorithms Logical and computational thinking Notion of programming and the syntax of programming languages Construction of simple software programmes to solve particular problems

da

Student has demonstrated sound, basic knowledge and practical techniques in tackling many of the topics and tasks covered in the module and so shown clear suitability for undergraduate degree studies.

ardderchog

Student has performed effectively in all aspects of the module and has demonstrated a high level of suitability for and can proceed with confidence to undergraduate degree studies.

trothwy
