Content
- Contents of the course: Fudamentals of programming in Python. In particular, basic concepts of programming languages, used in object-oriented programming, illustrated on the Python language (objects, variables, expressions, control structures, data types (arrays, lists, etc), methods, etc). The focus will be on the construction of programs based on practical problems to be solved. Only a synthesis of the theoretical concepts will be presented; we therefore ask the students to read and already understand the covered topics before each course.
- Contents of the practical sessions: Practical sessions (tutorials and exercises, two hours each week), based on the theoretical content, will be organized on-line all along the period. During these sessions, the students are asked to solve exercises with Python on the Inginious online system, some inspired by the book by Swinnen. Many other online Python exercices are also available. Questions & answers sessions will also be organized on site if possible.
- Practical organization: These exercises are on-line. Students should have read (and understood) the corresponding material before in order to solve the problems.
Teaching methods
Practice based on online exercices. Remedial actions are organized on site with the assistants, if possible. Otherwize they will be online.
Evaluation methods
Evaluation:
- An optional written test without grade will take place on the Inginious patform around week 9 for self-assessment.
- A written exam will take place during the review session (usually on-site ). This exam will focus on solving practical programming problems in Python (writing methods and classes). Note that we are not asking that the student knows by heart the syntax of Python: students will be allowed to use a quick reference guide (the one provided by the Professor) during the examination.
Online resources
The different resources are available on Moodle (slides, synthesis slides, In particular, the book "Apprendre à programmer avec Python 3" of Swinnen will be used as reference book.
Teaching materials
- "Apprendre à programmer avec Python 3" de G. Swinnen
