Computer Programming / Coding
Course Description
Students will learn to design, code, and test their own programs while applying mathematical concepts. Teachers introduce concepts and problem-solving skills through a programming language such as C, C++, C#, Java, Python, or Visual Basic. Advanced topics may include sequential files, arrays
Grading
Daily Work (60% of Semester Grade): Tasks completed throughout the semester to develop skills
Assessments (40% of Semester Grade): Quizzes, Tests, and Projects completed throughout the semester
Semester Test (15% of Final Grade): End of Semester Assessment
Classroom Expectations
