Introduction to Programming with C++, Part 1
Class experience
Course Objective This course is an introduction to the problem-solving and programming methodologies that are fundamental to the study of computer science. Students gain considerable experience with fundamental language constructs and types, such as expressions, decisions, iteration, functions, structures, and strings. This course (and those to follow in the sequence) is modeled after a college-level class taught by this instructor but is accessible to students who have never programmed...
7 lessons//7 Weeks
Week 1Lesson 1Introduction to C++Intro to C++ and programming, compiling our first program. We will get you programming right in the middle of the very first lesson.Week 2Lesson 2Digging DeeperDesigning programs, using algorithms to organize your thoughts and create well-defined solutions. Given a problem, we will break it down into steps, then use that to create our programs.Week 3Lesson 3If statements, Part 1.Our first look at a flow control statement, one that allows the program to 'make decisions'.Week 4Lesson 4If statements, Part 2.We will look at the If statement, If/Else, Compound If and Nested if. We will see how each form of the If statement is useful for solving problems.Week 5Lesson 5Switch statementAfter mastering different forms of the If statement, we take a look at a different type of flow control - the switch statement. We look at how this is constructed and what situations this works best in.Week 6Lesson 6String DatatypeThe String datatype has a lot of functionality built into it. With string functions we can determine the length of a string, look for things within a string, and create substrings.Week 7Lesson 7While LoopsAnother type of flow-control, the while loop allows your program to repeat a chunk of code or action.
I have a degree in computer science and have been teaching all levels of programming and software engineering at the college level for 20 years and have worked in the industry for the same amount of time. This particular course (Introduction to Programming) has always been my favorite to teach. My goal is to give the students an experience that will prepare them to be successful in a Computer Science based college program. I love programming because there are multiple ways to solve a problem. Computers only do what you tell them to do - whether you realize you're telling them to do something or not!
Homework Offered
A programming project is assigned at the end of each lesson. These are designed to give the students additional practice in the topic covered in that lesson. I am available to the student throughout the week through the Outschool messaging system if they have questions. Students are encouraged, but not required, to submit their code when finished. We go over the assignment at the beginning of the next lesson.1 - 2 hours per week outside of class

I love to teach! I love the look on a student's face when they "get it" or when they realize how much they love (or are allowed to enjoy) what they are learning! I have been teaching Mathematics, Computer Science (programming) and Theatre...
