| CIS 1951 - Honors Introduction to Problem Solving and Programming in Python |
|
An Honors version of CIS 1051, this course introduces computer programming using Python, a computer language which is widely used in industry, scientific research, game programming and web applications. Students will learn how to design a program to solve a problem using procedural programming constructs such as loops, branching structures, and functions. Students will write programs that are testable (using assertions) and maintainable (using good programming style, naming conventions, indentation, and comments). Topics covered also include the general characteristics of computers, techniques of problem solving, and algorithm specification. Students are also introduced to software engineering practices, including unit testing techniques, debugging techniques, and version control management. Expect the usual boundary between lab and lecture to be somewhat blurred as we look at design and implementation in both places, often in the context of small group activities. The course will end with small group programming projects of modest complexity chosen jointly by the students and instructor based on their areas of interest. These could include elements of graphics, robotics, applied mathematics, engineering, or projects from other disciplines.
