After successful completion of the course, students are able to write and exectue simple programs in the programming language Python.Students are capable of handling variables with predefined and self-defined custom types and are able to apply type-specific operations. In addition to simple, ordinary types (integer, float, boolean) they master compund types like strings, lists, and maps. Students are familiar with the classical control structures (conditional branches and loops)

The course teaches the basics of computer programming based on the general-purpose programming language Python.

Presentation of the concepts of computer programming using Python.

• presentation of teaching content via online video tutorials (theory and practical coding examples)
• deployment of a central web based programming environment (Jupyter notebooks) for practical work
• self assessment via multiple choice tests in TUWEL (theory) and exercises (small progamming tasks) in the Jupyter notebook environment
• automated evaluation and feedback for self assessment tasks

1 compulsory programming exercise and 1 multiple choice test

Working with a personal computer using MS Windows or linux operating system, familiarity with usage of web browsers
