2-4 horas por semana. Each week students will have programming projects to design and complete. These programs will be shared with the other class members, compared and discussed. Weekly discussions will also be created around topics related to programming.Evaluación
This is a very hands-on course. Students will be asked to try out the Java programming principles AS they are being taught in the videos. 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.Experiencia de clase
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. As this is a self-paced class, a video and slide deck will be posted each week. Students can watch the video and use the accompanying slide deck as their own pace. At the end of each lesson is a programming project for students to work on. These projects are designed to give students practicing using the techniques covered in that lesson. Students are encouraged to reach out to the instructor with any questions they have about the lesson material or the project. The instructor will typically respond within 24 hours. Students are also encouraged to submit their project code, which the instructor will make comments on and suggest improvements, if needed. The project will be discussed at the beginning of each next lesson video. If students focus on one lesson and programming project a week, it should take them 7 weeks to complete the course. 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
Metas de aprendizaje
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 Java 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.
Programa de estudios
7 Lecciones
más de 7 semanasLección 1:
Introduction to Java
Intro to Java and programming, compiling our first program. We will get you programming right in the middle of the very first lesson.
Lección 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.
Lección 3:
If statements, Part 1
Our first look at a flow control statement, one that allows the program to 'make decisions'.
Lección 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.

Lista de útiles escolares
Students will be provided with weekly PowerPoint decks that will contain all the information they need. We will be using a free online compiler.

Los estudiantes no necesitarán utilizar ninguna aplicación o sitio web más allá de las herramientas estándar de Outschool.
Experiencia y certificaciones del docente
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!
