PROGRAMMING IN PYTHON

Enroll View Details

Course Synopsis

The Python course is designed for novices aiming to develop the ability to conceive and construct purposeful Python code, as well as interpret code composed by others. The curriculum imparts skills in translating conceptual problem descriptions into Python-coded applications/libraries. This foundational course is indispensable for individuals lacking prior programming experience but aspiring to establish themselves as proficient Android engineers in the future.

Required Textbooks

1. Eric Matthes, “Python Crash Course: A Hands-On, Project-Based Introduction to Programming”, No Starch Press.
2. John Zelle, “Python Programming: An Introduction to Computer Science”, Franklin, Beedle & Associates Inc.

Completion Criteria

After fulfilling all of the following criteria, the student will be deemed to have finished the Module:

1. Has attended 90% of all classes held.
2. Has received an average grade of 80% on all assignments.
3. Has received an average of 60% in assessments.
4. The tutor believes the student has grasped all of the concepts and is ready to go on to the second module.

Prerequisites

1. Fundamental understanding of programming, bits/bytes, procedures, classes, and computer architecture. It's absolutely acceptable if you only have a theoretical understanding of programming, but you should be certain about what programming is and what you intend to gain from this session.
2. Willing and eager to spend at least 10-20 hours (varying from student-to-student) per week outside of the training class to read/write codes in Python (self-study and practice).
3. If you are only interested in theory and have no interest/patience in spending at least 10 hours every week throughout the duration of the course, then this course might not be for you.
4. If you have absolutely no idea about programming or do not see yourself doing programming in the next six -odd months, then this class may not be for you.
