Student Learning Outcomes/Course Objectives

1. Explain programming concepts, principles, design patterns and methods;
2. Design, program and debug Python applications to solve non-trivial problems;
3. Test and assess the quality of object-oriented code;
4. Write clear and effective documentation;
5. Differentiate between object-oriented, procedural, and functional programming/design paradigms and identify use cases for each; and

Required Technology

You will be expected to attend class with a laptop you can use for software development. We will do live programming exercises during most classes, so be prepared to write code. Any reasonably current operating system can be used. If you dont have access to a laptop, contact me as soon as possible.

Grading Policies

Letter Grade Distribution Your final grade for the course is computed as the sum of your scores on the individual elements below (100 possible points total), converted to a letter grade:

Syllabus Change Policy

This syllabus is a guide for the course and is subject to change with advance notice. Changes will be posted in ELMS. The ELMS course site is the definitive location for all course work, and communication, including class schedules, assignments and deadlines.

University Course Policies

The essential purpose of the university’s undergraduate course policies is to enable all of us to fully participate in an equitable, accessible and safe academic environment so that we each can be challenged to learn and contribute most effectively. They address issues such as academic integrity, codes of conduct, discrimination, accessibility, learning accommodations, etc. We are all responsible for following the policies at http://www.ugst.umd.edu/courserelatedpolicies.html. You must read them and send me any questions by the end of the first week of classes.
