Student learning Outcomes
Students will apply structured problem-solving methods to design, implement, and test efficient Python programs.
Students will implement algorithms using sequence, selection, and repetition control structures in Python.
Students will use Python collections (e.g., lists, dictionaries) and functions to organize, manipulate, and process data.
Students will apply object-oriented programming principles (e.g., classes, inheritance, modules) to design modular and reusable programs.
Students will design and develop Python applications that address business problems, demonstrating effective programming approaches.
Students will utilize professional development environments (e.g., IDEs, local environments) to write, debug, and refine Python code.
