CIT 180 — Programming I with Python
introduces students to the foundational concepts of computer programming using Python. Students learn to think computationally and solve complex problems through lectures, hands-on exercises, and collaborative projects. The course emphasizes problem-solving analysis, program specifications, algorithm design, and exploring data structures and algorithms. By also exploring Object-Oriented Programming (OOP), students acquire a robust toolkit for tackling real-world programming challenges. Additionally, the course focuses on the importance of clear code documentation with flowcharts, pseudocode, and code recognition techniques. This course is aligned with the Python Institute PCEP - Certified Entry-Level Python Programmer Certification. Prerequisites: Reading Proficiency
