Recommended Optional Program Components:	None
Course Objectives:	The students will have basic understanding of some of the fundamental concepts that underlie programming language syntax and semantics through a comparative study of several languages and their features. The students will be aware of several new programming language features and paradigms to gain the ability to study general conceptual linguistic issues of designing new languages and compilers.

Learning Outcomes

The students who have succeeded in this course;
1. Define basic concepts and categories of programming languages
2. Identify formal methods of describing syntax, attribute grammars and dynamic semantics
3. Describe the concept of binding, type checking, type equivalence, scoping and referencing environments
4. Define features of primitive variables, character string, ordinal, array, associative array, record, union, pointer and reference data types
5. Define arithmetic, relational and boolean expressions, type conversions, assignment statements, selection and iterative statements and unconditional branching
6. Describe fundamentals of subprograms, design issues for subprograms, local referencing environments, parameter-passing methods, overloaded subprograms and design issues for functions
7. Define the concept of abstraction, describing data abstraction and desing issues for abstract data types
8. Defining design issues for object-oriented languages and describing support for object-oriented programming in various programming languages such as Smalltalk, C++, Java, C#, Ruby
9. Analyse mathematical functions, fundamentals of functional programming languages such as Lisp, Scheme, ML, Haskell and Describing predicate calculus and theorem proving, features of logic programming and the basic elements of Prolog
10. Define exception and event handling in various programming languages such as Ada, C++, Java.

	Program Outcomes	Level of Contribution
1)	To develop an interest in the human mind and behavior, to be able to evaluate theories using empirical findings, to understand that psychology is an evidence-based science by acquiring critical thinking skills.
2)	To gain a biopsychosocial perspective on human behavior. To understand the biological, psychological, and social variables of behavior.
3)	To learn the basic concepts in psychology and the theoretical and practical approaches used to study them (e.g. basic observation and interview techniques).
4)	To acquire the methods and skills to access and write information using English as the dominant language in the psychological literature, to recognize and apply scientific research and data evaluation techniques (e.g. correlational, experimental, cross-sectional and longitudinal studies, case studies).
5)	To be against discrimination and prejudice; to have ethical concerns while working in research and practice areas.
6)	To recognize the main subfields of psychology (experimental, developmental, clinical, cognitive, social and industrial/organizational psychology) and their related fields of study and specialization.
7)	To acquire the skills necessary for analyzing, interpreting and presenting the findings as well as problem posing, hypothesizing and data collection, which are the basic elements of scientific studies.
8)	To gain the basic knowledge and skills necessary for psychological assessment and evaluation.
9)	To acquire basic knowledge of other disciplines (medicine, genetics, biology, economics, sociology, political science, communication, philosophy, anthropology, literature, law, art, etc.) that will contribute to psychology and to use this knowledge in the understanding and interpretation of psychological processes.
10)	To develop sensitivity towards social problems; to take responsibility in activities that benefit the field of psychology and society.
11)	To have problem solving skills and to be able to develop the necessary analytical approaches for this.
12)	To be able to criticize any subject in business and academic life and to be able to express their thoughts.
