Course Descriptions for Arts and Sciences
Introduction to the field of computer science and the art of programming. This course explores some of the “big ideas” of computer science, including abstraction, data structures, software engineering, and, centrally, the fundamentals of writing code. Assignments are designed to be engaging, accessible, and creative while developing core programming concepts. This course is taught using JavaScript in a web-based environment. Topics include variables, conditionals, loops, arrays, functions, objects, libraries, errors, debugging, and code best practices. A final project brings all of the ideas together as the students develop unique, original pieces of software they can share.
