A college-prep introductory course in computer programming. Part 3 of a 3 course sequence! Builds on all the skills from Parts 1 and 2.

Class experience

7 lessons//7 Weeks
 Week 1
Lesson 1
Functions with parameters, variable scope
Taking a deeper look at Functions (we started that back in Part 2), we find out how to pass different types of parameters into our user-defined functions.
 Week 2
Lesson 2
Reading from external files
External files (text files, data files) are a great way to store data and share it between programs or sessions. Today we start using external files by reading data in from them.
 Week 3
Lesson 3
Writing to external files, pickling, shelving
Once your program has modified existing data (that it read in) or generated new data, we need to be able to write it out to a file. Today we see how straightforward that is to do in Python.
 Week 4
Lesson 4
Exceptions
If the user does something wrong, your program could crash. We want to prevent that. Catch the user's error, fix it, and move on. This is Exception Handling.
 Week 5
Lesson 5
Object Oriented Programming
Many programming languages focus on the idea of Object Oriented Programming (OOP), where the focus is creating 'objects' that can solve problems, or be used in solving problems. We start looking at how Python handles creating these objects.
 Week 6
Lesson 6
OOP Part 2 - Inheritance, Polymorphism
More about Object Oriented Programming. Specifically setting objects to have constructors and destructors (for setup and cleanup) and how to start giving objects functionality - the ability to do things.
 Week 7
Lesson 7
Graphics with Python
Python has the ability to draw objects (lines, shapes, fills) to the screen, as well as create windows, buttons, and forms!
This class is taught in English.
Course Content 
This course will cover the following topics: 
•	Single and Multi-Dimensional Arrays 
•	Searching algorithms
•	Sorting algorithms
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
Weekly programming assignments will be posted at the end of each class. Students will be encouraged to work on the assignment and post it before the next class. The instructor will be available throughout the week to help along the way!
2 - 4 hours per week outside of class
Assessments Offered
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.
Grades Offered
Students will be provided with weekly PowerPoint decks that will contain all the information they need.

Profile
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...
