7 live meetings
6 hrs 25 mins in-class hoursHomework
1-2 hours per week. 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.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 before. This is an excellent course for a student exploring the possibility of becoming a programmer or software engineer, or possibly pursuing a college degree in a Computer Science field. Course Outcomes • Students will become proficient and comfortable with problem-solving with respect to programming. • Students will understand the basic methodologies of programming in both the procedural and object oriented environments. • Students will gain understanding on the syntax and constructs of the C++ programming language. • Students will be able to explain the concept of objects/classes and be able to represent real world events in class form. • Students will become proficient in the following programming constructs: expressions, decisions, iteration, functions, structures and strings. Course Content This course will cover the following topics: • Programming Introduction • Selection Statements • Mathematical Functions, Characters, Strings • Loops The next sequence in this course will continue the study of loops and add in: • Methods • Single and Multi-Dimensional Arrays • Objects and Classes Assessment This is a very hands-on course. Students will be asked to try out the Python programming principles AS they are being taught in the class. After each class a lab project will be assigned that guides the student through creating complete and proper running programs that will be submitted to the instructor before the next class. The instructor will be available to guide the student through these labs throughout the week. Requirements Students will need a desktop or laptop computer. We will be using an online programming environment. A comfortable understanding of computers is all the student needs. If you can follow a recipe, you can learn to program!
Learning Goals
Be introduced to programming concepts in the C++ Programming Language
Become proficient in beginner coding concepts such as variables, if statements and loops.
Syllabus
7 Lessons
over 7 WeeksLesson 1:
Introduction 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.
55 mins online live lesson
Lesson 2:
Digging Deeper
Designing 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.
55 mins online live lesson
Lesson 3:
If statements, Part 1.
Our first look at a flow control statement, one that allows the program to 'make decisions'.
55 mins online live lesson
Lesson 4:
If 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.

Teacher expertise and credentials
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!
