Learning Outcomes
Course Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of this course students will be able to:
1 Design, implement and test algorithms using fundamental programming constructs and data structures. 2 Translate between machine level representations and demonstrate how data is represented in computers. 3 Identify, evaluate and use information sources to support the practice of programming, including APIs, tutorials and documentation. 4 Calculate and compare the runtime complexity of common searching and sorting techniques and their implementations – both iterative and recursive. 5 Identify and apply searching and sorting techniques (linear and binary search, selection, insertion, merge, quick, bucket sorts). 6 Identify and apply basic data structures: linked list, stack, queue, qraph, tree (ordered, binary, balanced). 7 Design, implement and test solutions to problems selecting appropriate data structures and basic algorithmic techiques (brute force, divide and conquer, transform and conquer, greedy).
The above course learning outcomes are aligned with the Engineers Australia .

Student Feedback
The University places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.
SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the University to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.

Fraud Awareness
Students are reminded that in order to maintain the academic integrity of all programs and courses, the university has a zero-tolerance approach to students offering money or significant value goods or services to any staff member who is involved in their teaching or assessment. Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student鈥檚 disciplinary procedures.
