COURSE DESCRIPTION:
This course introduces fundamental computer programming concepts using a high-level language and a modern development environment. Programming skills include sequential, selection, and repetition control structures, functions, input and output, primitive data types, basic data structures including arrays and pointers, objects, and classes. Software engineering skills include problem solving, program design, and debugging practices. The goal of this course is to advance students’ computational thinking, educate them to use programs as tools in their own field of study, and to provide them with fundamental knowledge of programming strategies.
|
SUMMARY OF COURSE CONTENT:
Topics studied and
applied are:
1. Data Types
2. Control Statements
3. Functions
4. Lists and Tuples
5. Dictionaries and Sets
6. Object Oriented Programming6. ObjectOriented Programming
7. Error Handling, Python IDEs8. Data manipulation.
|
LEARNING OUTCOMES:
Students will:
1. Write and run dynamic scripts that take arguments from the command
line by practicing lab activities.
2. Translate the importance of comments and writhe them in Python by practicing
in the lab assessment.
3. Predict the importance of whitespace and indentation in Python by practicing in
the coding lab.
4. Categorize the different numerical data types by practicing lab activities.
5. Associate strings and implement string operations, such as indexing, slicing and
string formatting by practicing in the lab assessment
6. Translate Lists and perform simple operations on them by practicing with the
coding lab.
7. Recall a function that takes in a variable number of arguments by practicing lab
activities.
8. Combine control program execution flow using control statements such as if andif and
while by practicing in the lab assessment. by practicing in the lab assessment.

GRADING POLICY
-ASSESSMENT METHODS:
| Assignment | Guidelines | Weight |
| Coding IDE Lab (Google Collab) | Working with the Python Interactive Shell
Writing and Running Simple Scripts | 20 |
| Data Types | Converting Between Different Types of Number Systems | 20 |
| Control Statements | Use if, for and while statements | 20 |
| Functions | Defining Global and Local Variables | 20 |
| Object Oriented Programming | Adding attributes to a Class | 20 |
-ASSESSMENT CRITERIA:
AWork of this quality directly addresses the question or problem raised and provides a coherent argument displaying an extensive knowledge of relevant information or content. This type of work demonstrates the ability to critically evaluate concepts and theory and has an element of novelty and originality. There is clear evidence of a significant amount of reading beyond that required for the course.
BThis is highly competent level of performance and directly addresses the question or problem raised.There is a demonstration of some ability to critically evaluatetheory and concepts and relate them to practice. Discussions reflect the student’s own arguments and are not simply a repetition of standard lecture andreference material. The work does not suffer from any major errors or omissions and provides evidence of reading beyond the required assignments.
CThis is an acceptable level of performance and provides answers that are clear but limited, reflecting the information offered in the lectures and reference readings.
DThis level of performances demonstrates that the student lacks a coherent grasp of the material.Important information is omitted and irrelevant points included.In effect, the student has barely done enough to persuade the instructor that s/he should not fail.
FThis work fails to show any knowledge or understanding of the issues raised in the question. Most of the material in the answer is irrelevant.
-ATTENDANCE REQUIREMENTS:
ATTENDANCE REQUIREMENTS AND EXAMINATION POLICY
You cannot make-up a major exam (midterm or final) without the permission of the Dean’s Office. The Dean’s Office will grant such permission only when the absence was caused by a serious impediment, such as a documented illness, hospitalization or death in the immediate family (in which you must attend the funeral) or other situations of similar gravity. Absences due to other meaningful conflicts, such as job interviews, family celebrations, travel difficulties, student misunderstandings or personal convenience, will not be excused. Students who will be absent from a major exam must notify the Dean’s Office prior to that exam. Absences from class due to the observance of a religious holiday will normally be excused. Individual students who will have to miss class to observe a religious holiday should notify the instructor by the end of the Add/Drop period to make prior arrangements for making up any work that will be missed. The final exam period runs until ____________

ACADEMIC HONESTY
As stated in the university catalog, any student who commits an act of academic
dishonesty will receive a failing grade on the work in which the dishonesty occurred.
In addition, acts of academic dishonesty, irrespective of the weight of the assignment,
may result in the student receiving a failing grade in the course. Instances of
academic dishonesty will be reported to the Dean of Academic Affairs. A student
who is reported twice for academic dishonesty is subject to summary dismissal from
the University. In such a case, the Academic Council will then make a recommendation
to the President, who will make the final decision.

STUDENTS WITH LEARNING OR OTHER DISABILITIES
John Cabot University does not discriminate on the basis of disability or handicap.
Students with approved accommodations must inform their professors at the beginning
of the term. Please see the website for the complete policy.
