2. COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Gain the core knowledge to begin programming in any language. In this course, we'll use C++ to explore the core concepts and structure of programming languages and
helps you grasp what’s going on under the hood. After going over basic statements and expressions in C++, we'll explores strings, variables, and conditional code—which are
common topics in all programming languages. We'll also show how to work with different kinds of data and troubleshoot a variety of errors. Along the way, we'll compare how
code is written in several different languages and provides guidance on the criteria to use when choosing a programming language. Upon wrapping up this course, you’ll have
the knowledge you need to continue your coding journey in whichever language piques your interest.
COURSE OBJECTIVES:
Title Objective Alignment
Understand Core Programming Concepts Gain foundational knowledge of core programming
concepts, including variables, data types, control
structures, and functions.
Supports the objective of guiding students in
achieving basic knowledge and skills, making them
creative and productive members of the community.
Explore C++ Syntax and Structure Learn the syntax and structure of C++ to
understand how programming languages operate
under the hood.
Implements a dynamic, God-centered curriculum
by adapting to the evolving needs of programming
and technology.
Work with Strings, Variables, and Conditional
Statements
Master the use of strings, variables, and conditional
statements, which are fundamental concepts in all
programming languages.
Helps in building competence and character, as
students learn to solve problems effectively using
these basic programming constructs.
Handle Different Data Types and Debugging
Techniques
Learn to work with various data types and employ
debugging techniques to troubleshoot errors.
Instills sound principles of problem-solving and
critical thinking, fostering a values-oriented approach
to learning and development.
Compare Programming Languages Compare and contrast how different programming
languages handle similar tasks, providing a broader
understanding of the programming landscape.
Encourages a holistic education by exposing
students to multiple perspectives and guiding them in
making informed decisions.
Apply Christian Principles and Values in
Programming
Integrate Christian values and ethical
considerations in programming practices and
