This repo contains the material covered in the Short-term Hands-on Supplementary Course in C Programming for building C programming skills amongst the B.E. Computer Science & Engineering undergraduates in the Computer Science & Engineering Department at Sri Sivasubramaniya Nadar College of Engineering through a practicum-driven lesson plan during May-July 2022.
This certificate course was developed to support and enrich the material covered in the mandatory undergraduate courses UCS1201 Programming in C and UCS1211 Programming in C Lab. The team developed a curated lesson plan with offline & online classes, weekly assignments, code demos, and a capstone-project-cum-final-assessment for issuing merit certificates.

Link to the project repository, and participant submissions.
-
A guided project that evaluates how the course participants implement a Command-Line Interface (CLI) program.
-
The starter code, problem specification, and automated unit-test cases for this project are made available to the participants in an invigilated laboratory environment.
-
Participants were given 60 minutes to understand the existing codebase, develop the logic, and meet as many project objectives as possible.
Course Details and Lesson Plan can be found here!
