Location and time

Ohjelmointi:
- Ks. kalenteri

Exam schedules

Ohjelmointi:
- Tentti suoritetaan exam.tuni.fi - palvelussa, josta opiskelija voi varata itselleen sopivan ajankohdan ajanjaksolta joka on esitelty kurssimateriaalissa.

Assessment methods and criteria

Ohjelmointi:

Assessment scale

0-5

Teaching methods

Ohjelmointi:
- Opintojakson opetuksessa yhdistyvät luennot, kotiharjoitukset ja tentti. Luennoilla käsitellään ohjelmoinnin keskeisiä käsitteitä ja periaatteita esimerkkien avulla. Viikoittaisissa kotiharjoituksissa opiskelijat tekevät ohjelmointitehtäviä ja harjoittelevat koodikatselmointia vertaisarvioinnin periaatteiden mukaisesti. Koodikatselmointi tukee laadukkaan ja luettavan koodin tuottamista sekä parantaa ongelmanratkaisutaitoja. Kurssi päättyy ohjelmointitenttiin, joka mittaa keskeisten periaatteiden ja käytäntöjen ymmärtämistä.

Learning materials

Ohjelmointi:
- Ohjelmointikielenä opintojaksolla tullaan käyttämään Pythonia.
- Pääasiallisena oppimateriaalina käytetään luennoilla ja harjoituksissa jaettavia materiaaleja. Kirjallisuudeksi käy mikä tahansa Python - kieleen keskittyvä kirja.

Student workload

Ohjelmointi:
- Opintojakso vaatii opiskelijalta keskimäärin 52 tunnin työpanoksen (2 op).

Practical training and working life cooperation

Ohjelmointi:
- Tämä opintojakso on suunniteltu ohjelmoinnin perusteiden opetteluun, eikä se sisällä varsinaista työharjoittelua tai suoraa yhteistyötä työelämän kanssa. Kurssin sisältö kuitenkin heijastaa alan nykyvaatimuksia. Luennoissa ja kotiharjoituksissa keskitytään käytännönläheisiin ohjelmointitehtäviin, jotka kehittävät opiskelijoiden ongelmanratkaisutaitoja ja tarjoavat valmiuksia jatkokoulutukseen sekä työelämän haasteisiin. Opetuksessa painotetaan alan parhaita käytäntöjä ja työelämässä käytössä olevia ohjelmointikonsepteja, mikä tukee opiskelijoiden sujuvaa siirtymistä työelämään.

International connections

Ohjelmointi:
- Tällä opintojaksolla ei ole käytössä erityisiä kansainvälisiä yhteistyökuvioita tai ulkomaan harjoittelumahdollisuuksia. Kurssin sisältö perustuu kuitenkin kansainvälisesti tunnustettuihin ohjelmointikäytäntöihin ja -standardeihin, mikä valmentaa opiskelijoita työympäristön vaatimuksiin. Opiskelijoita kannustetaan myös hyödyntämään kansainvälisiä resursseja ja verkostoja oman osaamisensa laajentamiseksi.

Further information

Ohjelmointi
- Opiskelijoilta edellytetään tietokoneen peruskäytön osaamista. Komentorivin osaamista on myös hyötyä, esim: https://courses.mooc.fi/org/uh-cs/courses/tietokone-tyovalineena
