Course Content
This MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) aims to help students and teachers get started with programming. You will learn the basic concepts of programming in the Python language through interactive videos and code examples, step by step. Whether you have previous experience with programming or are new to it, we are sure that you will take away valuable knowledge from this course. To take this course, you don't need any previous knowledge, only a desktop or laptop computer with the Windows, Linux or macOS operating system to run your own written programs.
The course is divided into four lessons that build on each other. In the first step, we will be dealing with basic theories. Starting from the second lesson, we will begin writing Python code and learn and practice new programming concepts, particularly focusing on variables. In the third lesson, we will be dealing with how to read and output data from users of our program and learn important concepts for controlling the flow of the program. In the fourth and final lesson, we will delve deeper into the data type of lists.
Course Goals
Upon completion of the course, graduates not only gain a fundamental understanding of the Python programming language, but also acquire the skills to put that knowledge into practice. They will be able to write their own Python programs, understand and apply key programming concepts such as variables, data structures, loops and branching.They will be able to...
- Create and run Python files, as well as create and manipulate variables.
- Properly use simple If statements.
- Properly use loops like For and While.
- Create lists and use list functions.
Certificate
For actively participating in the course you will receive an automatic certificate which includes your username, the course name as well as the completed lessons. We want to point out that this certificate merely confirms that the user answered at least 75% of the self-assessment questions correctly.Licence
