Coding Fundamentals: Python Coding Fundamentals
Issued by
Concordia University
Basic computer programming competency has been achieved in the context of Python programming. The learner now has the foundational skills needed to explore other programming languages at the basic level.
Earning Criteria
-
Learner was exposed to a programming education methodology that has evolved over the past 20 years to best jump start a skillset in computer programming. Multiple small projects were created to drill those programming skills over a period of 15 hours of instruction.
-
Learner was assessed through five hours of video lectures, two papers on the history application of programming, followed by one applied computer programming project-based assignment, until they reach a required level of fluency in terms of their knowledge of the key concepts. For those transferring for undergraduate level transfer, trainees must obtain a passing rate of 80% or higher. Areas of competency will include: (a) variables (b) conditionals (c) loops (d) functions.
