Python Programming for Beginners to Advanced Learners (24 Lesson Course)

This course in Python Programming covers the below topics in depth: 
- Lesson 1 Introduction to Python to create geometric shapes: Students need to bring their knowledge of shapes and angles into this lesson to code different shapes as well as create a complex picture consisting of shapes and angles/
- Lesson 2 Using Loops to create geometric shapes: Students make use of WHILE and FOR loops (as well as understand the difference between the two) to create efficient code.
- Lesson 3 Obtaining User Input: Students understand and code how their written programs can begin to accept user input from someone using the keyboard. 
- Lesson 4 Using Conditional Statements to provide choices: Students begin to use IF Statements in this lesson so that their program code can begin to offer different choices to those running the program. 
- Lesson 5 Different Data Types: Students understand and use the different data types (Integer, Boolean, String and Float) which exists in Python
- Lesson 6 Assessment: Students are expected to complete a number of mini tasks in an independent manner to practice the skills they have learnt in lessons 1 - 5. 
- Lesson 7 Introduction to text based coding in Python: Students begin to code in Python to produce a text based outcome, rather than a visual output of images.
- Lesson 8 Introduction to Calculations: Students perform calculations in Python and understand and use the different logical and mathematical operators which exist, some of which include //, MOD, >, < and %
- Lesson 9 Use of Data Types & If Statements: Students understand and use the different data types (Integer, Boolean, String and Float) which exists in Python. They also convert between different data types when coding calculations in code that makes use of Selection (IF Statements). 
- Lesson 10 Creating Procedures and Functions in Python: Students learn the difference between functions and procedures and begin to pass parameters into them. 
- Lesson 11 Using loops for efficient code in Python: Students understand how WHILE Loops can be used to create efficient code. 
- Lessons 12-14 Creating a Login System and Storing and Reading data from a file: Students learn to create a login system which requires them to entire their username and password. Correct details will need to be inserted or else the system alerts the user to an errors. Students then move forward to code a login system from which different options can be selected to write data from a file and to search for specific data from a file.
- Lesson 15-16 Working with one-dimensional arrays: Students will learn a better way to store data, what arrays/lists are, why they are used as well as their benefits i.e. slicing lists, inserting data, sorting etc…
- Lesson 17-18 Working with two-dimensional arrays: Students will learn a better way to store data, understand what two-dimensional arrays are, why they are used as well as their benefits i.e. slicing two-dimensional array, inserting data, sorting etc… 
- Lesson 19-21 String Manipulation: Students will learn how to access each element in a string via its index as well as how to iterate through each element. Numerous string manipulation methods are covered in this lesson, some of which include .upper(), isupper(), .count() etc…..
- Lesson 22-24 Generating random numbers to create a dice roll game: Students will learn how to generate random integers between 1 - 6 by creating a Dice Game. Students will be expected to firstly create a 1 player game (via provided guidance) and then modify their code so it is suitable for 2 players.

Students will need to have access to the Internet to access repl.it and they will be provided with digital worksheets via Google Drive. They will therefore need to make sure they have logged into their Google Drive account in order to access the material shared with them. 
All curriculum material is fully developed for each lesson. My screen (with the teacher powerpoint and code in Python) will be shown to students via Zoom so they are able to see concepts being taught before experimenting for themselves.
