3. COURSE SUMMARY
C is one of the most important among all programming languages. It is used to program desktop
applications, compilers, tools, utilities, and even hardware devices. The C language is fast and
efficient. Once a student takes this, he/she will be able to apply the knowledge gained in this course in
the course offered in higher semesters.
A "Problem Solving using C Programming" course typically covers the fundamentals of
programming using the C programming language, emphasizing problem-solving skills and algorithmic
thinking. To develop the problem-solving skills for Ist Year student „C‟ is the best programming
language. Throughout the course, students typically engage in hands-on programming assignments
and projects to apply the concepts they learn. Problem-solving exercises may range from simple
algorithms to more complex programming challenges. The course aims to equip students with a solid
foundation in C programming and problem-solving skills, laying the groundwork for further
exploration in computer science and software development.

4. COURSE-SPECIFIC LEARNING OUTCOMES (CO)

By the end of this program, students should have the following knowledge, skills and values:
CO1: Apply suitable control structures and arrays in solving real-time problems.
CO2: Analyze problem statements to design appropriate solutions.
CO3: Build and document applications for real-time problems.

16. Academic Dishonesty & Plagiarism

Plagiarism is "to offer work or ideas from another source as one's own, with or without authorization
of the source author(s), directly by verbatim copying or by usage of any AI software" (i.e., with or
without permission from the original author). In certain cases, authorization might be provided for the
usage of other sources through written permission may not be considered as plagiarism. It is a serious
academic offence which should be avoided, the following method will be adopted to evaluate
plagiarism in submitted documents including assignments, material, class test content and other
similar academic documents.
Level 1: Similarities up to 10% - Student will be asked to revise the document and resubmit for
evaluation, once chance will be provided to revise.
Level 2: Similarities above 10% to 20%- Student will be warned and one chance will be provided to
revise the document and resubmit.
Level 3: Similarities above 20%: If the plagiarism level is more than 20% student will get a
Fail grade.
