What's included
Homework
1-2 hours per week. Learners will have homework to complete after each session. They will be asked to code a Python program and apply some of the principles taught in the session.Assessment
Students will be assessed based on the completion of the Python program they code after each session.Class Experience
This is a 5-session hands-on class, meaning the instructor will explain intermediate/advanced Python programming concepts/codes and guide the students to coding programs using Python. Students know how to identify program errors and debug them along the way, which is very important. The course will start from the level the student is already familiar with Python basics. If not, please register for my Python Programming 6-sessions course before taking this one. Here is the link for the FLEX Python programming class: https://outschool.com/classes/python-programming-IaySEGD3#usyQsgyxQO Here is the link for the LIVE Python Programming 6-sessions class: https://outschool.com/classes/7ef9ddc2-f5d6-4dc3-8a94-855d61db8619/schedule After each class, there will be a short Python programming activity or exercise that learners will complete enhancing the learning process. COURSE OUTLINE: Session 1: Introduction to Functions Void Function Local Variables Passing Arguments to Functions Global Variables and Constants Value-Returning Functions Session 2: File Input/Output Python File Modes Different Ways to Read files with Statement Loops to Process Files Session 3: Sequences Introduction to Lists List Slicing / Manipulation List Functions and Methods Tuples Changing List to Tuples and vice versa Session 4: Sets Set Functions and Methods Dictionary Dictionary Functions and Methods Session 5: OOP Fundamentals Class and objects Attributes and Methods This is a FLEX class. There will be NO LIVE meetings. The benefits are (1) students can participate and do the coursework any time during the length of the course, (2) students with different time zones and even different countries can share and learn together, and (3) students can review course materials over and over again during the length of the course. Students will learn Python programming via videos and be assigned to code a Python program at the end of each session. Each week’s content will be uploaded on Monday by noon ET. All interactions will occur in the Outschool classroom. Discussion: Students will share their programs, provide feedback, and interact with each other and me, the instructor. They are to participate by asking questions, and providing comments, and feedback on each other’s posts. SUMMARY: This is a FLEXIBLE SCHEDULE CLASS with NO LIVE MEETINGS. However, there will be videos and homework assignments personally reviewed and graded by the instructor.
Learning Goals
Students will gain an understanding of how to program at an intermediate to advanced level using Python.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Teaching has been my career for a long time now. What I love about teaching is seeing my students learn new things and taking that knowledge to further their growth in life.
I am a professional college educator. I hold an MBA, and I have taught learners from preschool to adult years. Courses I teach are Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Python Programming, Scratch coding, Introduction to Computers, Protect your Computers, Hardware, Research, MLA formatting, Commas and Semicolons, Homophones, and others.
I have been teaching and working with computers for a long time now. I know how important it is to keep abreast of the changing technology. Therefore, I want to teach learners the knowledge I gain from my experience.
There are two English classes I teach, which evolve as a result of an ha-ha moment after reading thousands of essays written by college students. I realized that learners need to grasp the fundamentals of any subject matter before attending college. That way, they are prepared and ready to tackle the college level stuff and not the rudimentary.
In my spare time, I love to go for walks in wooded areas with creeks. I also love to go to the beach.
Thank you for reading “About Me,” and I hope you get to know a little bit about my profession and personal life.Reviews
