Computer Programming
This course is designed to equip you, the student, with the primary critical thinking and fundamental programming skills necessary to solve fairly complex problems using programming logic. You should develop skills that incorporate the fundamental ideas of structured programming in your problem solving approach. This course will serve as the foundation for understanding how to program. This will be the precursor to programming in other specific structured programming languages.
Generally (and per the course catalog), this course:
- provides a disciplined approach to problem solving
- introduces the use of structured techniques in problem solving
- demonstrates the use of pseudocode and graphical tools to represent algorithms
- introduces the methods of testing, evaluating, and documenting code.
For our course textbook, we use Joyce Farrell’s Programming Logic and Design: Introductory 8th edition (ISBN: 978-1-285-84577-7).
