This unit is a duplicate unit of FIT9136. The ITIxxxx units have been created for the Monash Indonesia offering of the Master of Data Science due to the different teaching mode.

On successful completion of this unit, you should be able to:

1. design, construct, test and document Python programs;
2. demonstrate how basic data types/structures function;
3. evaluate different algorithms and analyse their complexity;
4. translate problems into algorithms with appropriate implementations by investigating different strategies for the algorithm development.

This unit introduces the Python programming and the basics of data structure and algorithms including their design, analysis and implementation in Python.

Students will experience working with Python implementation of data structures and algorithms widely used in modern programming language to solve simple problems. Topics covered in this unit are the programming basics including IOs, control structures, and concepts of object-oriented programming; data structures and algorithms including lists, stacks, queues, trees, recursion and searching/sorting algorithms.

On-campus

Examination (2 hours and 10 minutes): 50%; In-semester assessment: 50%

Assignment 1 (15%): An individual assessment where students are required to develop Python programs for computational problems to demonstrate their understanding on the basic programming elements of Python: data types, built-in methods, program control structures, as well as standard/file input and output

In-semester test (15%): test various programming concepts (45 minutes)

Assignment 2 (20%): An individual assessment where students are required to develop Python programs for computational problems to demonstrate their understanding on the programming concepts of classes and methods, programming algorithms, file handling and manipulation, as well as testing strategy.

Minimum total expected workload equals 12 hours per week comprising:

1. Contact hours for on-campus students:
   • Two hours/week lectures
   • Two hours/week laboratories
2. Additional requirements:
   • A minimum of 8 hours per week of personal study for completing lab/tutorial activities, assignments, private study and revision.
