CS 100 CPADS (Computer Science Practice and Design Studio)

Fall Semester

This course introduces students to problem analysis, problem solving, and their relationship to computational thinking. It covers basic programming concepts such as variables, values, mathematical and logical expression evaluation, decisions, loops, and functions, with an emphasis on problem solving strategies and techniques. Students will apply these concepts by writing programs in a high level language. One important aim of this course is to prepare students without prior programming experience to succeed in a more in-depth and rapid-paced introductory programming course such as CS 101.
