Coding With Python for Beginners (Weekly/Ongoing)
Class experience
In this class, students will explore the possibilities with programming. This is an introduction to help learners develop an understanding of logic and critical thinking when it comes to code. Topics that will be covered include: variables, data types, containers, functions, modules, debugging, and more! I will be writing code real time and explaining the step-by-step process of what and why I'm doing. My teaching philosophy is to get learners involved with the learning rather than just...
Learn the basics of coding and programming using the Python language. Students will learn how to code, create algorithms and solve problems using Python. They will gain a solid understanding of fundamental concepts of the language like data types, variables, functions and modules. Additionally, students will be provided the opportunity for a hands-on experience of coding. Overall, the goal is to give students a strong foundation in programming and the ability to continue learning and growing as a coder.
I began programming in graduate school where I used Python for data organization and visualization. Today I continue to use it with at my job with the U.S. Geological Survey.
Homework Offered
Homework will be optional and given every other week, give or take. It is used more as a review of content covered. Homework will largely consist of practice code and conceptual review. The work can be completed individually or with other students. Students are encouraged to use any source including the teacher and the internet! Again, homework is optional, but I highly recommend it as it helps learners get a better understanding of the structure of code.0 hours per week outside of class

Grades Offered
No supplies will be necessary. If the learner wants to follow along with their own code, they can use Google Colab! (Google Colab is free if you have a Google account similar to Google Docs).
