We concentrate on solutions to general problems faced by novices and computer programmers. The application of algorithms and programming languages ultimately advises the computer of our wishes. The course material benefits those who want to understand computers, experience programming for the first time, find success in future advanced courses, and learn elementary Pascal.
Students first solve problems using paper and pencil to follow the actions of the computer.
Applying the conceptual computer language, we engage an instruction cycle using a set of several commands. To understand computers in a broad sense, we also cover algorithms, flowcharts, pseudocode, data types, Boolean logic, number systems, data structures, and program structure types. Students need only possess investigative minds to succeed in this course. Each class consists of a lecture, discussion of assigned reading, and the solutions to short analytical homework problems including Pascal practice in a computer classroom.
