	Objectives
	THE GOAL OF THIS COURSE IS THAT OF PREPARING THE STUDENT TO BE ABLE TO TACKLE GIVEN PROBLEMS AND WRITE PROGRAMS USING THE C PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE. MORE SPECIFICALLY: KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING: MASTERY OF THE SYNTAX OF THE C LANGUAGE AND APPLICATION OF THIS LANGUAGE TO THE SOLUTION OF RELATIVELY SMALL PROBLEMS USING THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF STRUCTURED AND MODULAR PROGRAMMING. APPLYING KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING: PROBLEM SOLVING ABILITIES APPLIED IN CONCEIVING, DESIGNING AND IMPLEMENTING A SIMPLE PROGRAMMING PROJECT. MAKING JUDGEMENTS: ABILITY TO IDENTIFY THE APPROPRIATE DATA STRUCTURES TO DEAL WITH A SPECIFIC SIMPLE PROGRAMMING PROBLEM. CAPABILITY OF CRITICAL ANALYSIS ABOUT THE COMPLEXITY OF SIMPLE PROBLEMS. COMMUNICATION SKILLS: ABILITY TO COMMUNICATE INFORMATION, IDEAS, PROBLEMS, RATIONALE REGARDING SIMPLE PROGRAMMING PROBLEMS LEARNING SKILLS: DEVELOPMENT OF SKILLS SO THAT FURTHER STUDY ABOUT PROGRAMMING TECHNIQUES MAY BE PARTIALLY SELF-DIRECTED
