Abstract
The University of Tartu course ,,Introduction to Programming’’ is an introductory programming course during which students obtain a fundamental understanding of programming in Python. Students from various departments participate in the course. The participants have a limited background in programming, and the course is taught in English. This bachelor’s thesis aims to create a new collection of course-specific reading materials and self-assessment exercises to enhance individual learning and support the mastery of materials. Previously, mostly externally linked video materials that were not tailor-made were used to teach the course contents. The new collection of materials enables students who prefer reading materials over video to learn thanks to an easily accessible, well-structured, and detailed set of materials. The reading materials were created for seven weeks out of a total of eight, accompanied by 83 self-assessment exercises for testing learned knowledge and revision. Feedback on the new materials was provided by the course supervisors, and improvements were incorporated accordingly.
