About this course…
This course does not require prior knowledge in
programming.

We will use Python as the programming language


in the lectures, tutorials and assignments.

Practice makes perfect! We will learn


about the fundamental programming
concepts in lecture, and do a lot of
programming exercises in the
tutorials.

Assessment
4 Programming assignments (5%, 5%, 10%, 10%)
Your program will be marked by scripts (another marker
program) written by our TAs, your marks will be given based
on the number of test cases that your program can pass.
Basically, you cannot get any credits if your program cannot
be interpreted, or it cannot pass any test cases
Quiz (10%)
Tutorial Exercises (10%)
Written Final Examination (50%)
Policy
Late assignments
We do not accept late submissions.

Collaboration in study groups discussing course


materials is encouraged. However, you should
write your own program for the assignments.
Plagiarism detection software may be used in
assignment marking.
Stanford
0 marks for assignment / project.
Serious cases will be reported to university, which will
possibly result in disqualification. 12

Let’s get started !

A good programmer should be capable


to derive programming solution while
observing the utilization of resources, and the
ability to critically analyze the strength and
weakness of the derived solution.
