Description

Objective:

The course objective is to learn the basics of computer programming from data types, to creating classes, to algorithms and testing. Students will learn these concepts while diving deep into the syntax of Python as the core programming language. The course culminates in the chance to design and build a project that answers a need or goal the student determines.

Learning Outcomes:

Describe the steps a programmer goes through to tackle a new problem
Recall the most common data types and how to create and use them in a program
Insert conditional statements and functions into a program
Create and manipulate arrays, including strings, lists, and other common forms
Use loops to repeat steps either a fixed number of times or dynamically based on conditions
Develop and test complex functions including special Python functions
Write the code for a basic class
Remember the situations where inheritance and scope will affect a program’s operations
Use modules and files to add functionality and data to a program
Understand where to find code libraries and how to add them to a program
Plan an algorithm for an original program
Code an original program based on a prepared algorithm
Test an original program and debug errors based on the results
