The organization of educational process to study programming

The article reveals the system of organization of the educational process while studying the discipline “Programming” in the first year at the Institute of Mathematics and Computer Science (IMCS) of Buryat State University. While teaching Programming the priority should be given to the use of theoretical knowledge in practice, because it is not possible to acquire the main techniques and technologies. That is why the rating system is used to control knowledge and skills of students, when the distribution of points almost entirely occur by performing practical tasks. While organizing laboratory work the classes to study fundamentals of algorithmization are planned, as the development of algorithm of problem solution causes difficulties for students. To control programs performing at laboratory classes the automated testing system Ejudge was developed and applied by teachers and students of IMCS.
