初學者使用 Python 編碼（自訂進度）

In this class, students will explore the possibilities with programming. This is an introduction to help learners develop an understanding of logic and critical thinking when it comes to code. Topics that will be covered include variables, data types, containers, functions, modules, debugging, and more! I will be writing code real time and explaining the step-by-step process of what and why I'm doing what I am. My teaching philosophy is to get learners involved with the learning rather than just experience it. No prior experience or knowledge is expected. 

The general flow of the class involves recorded lectures followed by assignments to show understanding. Generally, videos will be released by Monday 8AM Eastern Time every week for 10 weeks. Assignments for testing learning comprehension will be released every Wednesday by 8AM Eastern Time. 

Schedule-wise, I will be releasing a video at least once a week for 10 weeks. The assignments will mainly involve programming to solve answers to questions and terminology review. I can increase or decrease workload depending on student interest.  The questions are designed with two main goals in mind: understanding the logic behind programming and personal interests in programming. The questions also encourage students to reach out with any questions or discussions about coding.

The class will begin with the very basics like downloading and using Python, along with a general overview of how programming languages work. From there, students will learn about concepts like variables and data types which will provide a foundation to further build off of with flow control and functions. By the end, students will have the ability to continue exploring into the possibilities of coding.
