Course Outline

Lecturer : Room No. : Telephone No. : E-mail : Synopsis : This course introduces the students to some basic theories and method of computer programming.  It will emphasize on the general concepts and basic programming, data entry, data processing, data printing, subprogram such as keyboard, the use of loop, and print on the screen of file shape.  The course will also provided problem solving exercises such as problem identification, designing of solution, translate the solution to programming language. LEARNING OUTCOMES By the end of the course, students should be able to: No. Course Learning Outcome Programme Outcome Taxonomies and Soft-Skills Assessment Methods 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
