WHAT DO YOU NEED TO KNOW?

Who can participate?

The program is dedicated to the people who are 18+ years of age and leave in the Republic of Armenia and the Republic of Artsakh, who will successfully undergo the admission procedure and will meet the objectives of the program. The candidates with non-technological education and those who want to move from another sphere to the technological one will be prioritized.



The terms of participation

Minimum knowledge and skills required to participate:

  • the basic knowledge of school level mathematics
  • the basic English language skills (to be able to read and understand speech)
  • minimal computer knowledge
  • analytical thinking
  • the ability to learn in informal conditions (remotely)
A preliminary assessment of candidates will be conducted through an online test, if necessary through an interview. The introductory online test consists of 10 questions (5 mathematical and 5 logical questions in Armenian and English). Test score positive results:
  • for those living: in Yerevan - 60% and higher
  • for those living in the regions and the Republic of Artsakh - 50% and higher



Educational Program Format

The program "Basics of Programming" will be held for two months, at least twice a week (a total of 16 lessons, each lasting 2 hours). The group will consist of 30 members. The course will consist of theoretical and practical parts:

  • the theoretical part includes the study of the basics of the computer science and applications (particularly C ++ programming language);
  • the practical part includes independent and group projects, tasks of a different nature, and homework.
Classes will be held remotely - through the licensed software Zoom. For homework, the www.ejudge.ru system will be used, which allows automatically checking and evaluation of the tasks. We would like to inform you that the applicant will be disqualified from the course in case of absence from the first 2 lessons in a row and less than 30% of the total attendance of the general course.



Educational plan

Program beneficiaries will learn in detail about the basics of computer science, binary systems, the process of program execution, with variables, primitive types, operators, loops, functions, arrays, with complexities of algorithms, Input Parsing, multidimensional arrays, and Debugging. More details about the curriculum can be found here.



Course Outcome

At the end of the course, the participant will have valuable knowledge and skills:

  • will have a deep understanding of the basic programming tools and will be able to apply them in practical tasks
  • know the types of loops and operators
  • learn to work with functions and create functions
  • will be able to perform operations with one-dimensional and two-dimensional arrays
  • will understand the complexity of the idea of algorithms



Exam at the end of the course

At the end of the course, an online exam/test will be conducted to test both the theoretical knowledge and practical skills of the participants. The test will be evaluated positively in the case of receiving 50% or more points.



Result

At the end of the course, participants will receive:

  • certificate of completion (in case of a positive test result - 50% or more)
  • certificate of participation (in case of a negative exam result - less than 50%).
For 40-50 students who have demonstrated the best results, RAU organizes an additional two-month free course on an in-depth study of C ++ and data structure. Up to 5 successful students will have the opportunity to participate in RAU research programs on a paid basis.
