Description

Objective:

The course objective is to introduce programming concepts to students using the language of their choice: C++, Python, or Java while following a consistent course sequence, structure, and schedule of assessments.
The course teaches the core computer science concepts of variables, branching, loops, arrays/lists, and functions/methods. It also introduces object-oriented programming with classes and inheritance. The course covers use pointers and streams and teaches a variety of good coding practices, including iterative development, code formatting, and variable naming schemes.

Learning Outcomes:

Combine loops and arrays/lists, and develop programs with multiple arrays/lists
Initialize class variables with class constructor
Write a recursive function
Use binary search, O notation, and algorithm analysis
Use standard input and output, and debug common syntax errors
Declare and initialize variables with valid identifiers
Develop programs that branch based on user input
Write a function/method, then return from a function/method and parameterize a function
Create derived and abstract classes
