Course Description

Computer Programming 1 591 2 Credits

PREREQUISITE: MINIMUM OF C IN ALGEBRA I, IMP 1 OR TRANSFORMATIONAL GEOMETRY/PARAMETER GRAPHING

Computer programming is the world where creativity meets technology.  You imagine something that you want the computer to do and then you teach the computer how to do it.  Programming is both intriguing and challenging; you have to apply analytical reasoning in order to get your program to work.  This introductory course uses the language of Python to build understanding of fundamental programming concepts.  Working at their own pace, students complete lab activities to study the following topics: variables, repetition loops, lists, decision structures, and subroutines.  They apply this knowledge to projects of their own design.
