Course Objectives

By the end of this course, students will be able to:

1. Understand Python Basics: Grasp the fundamental concepts and syntax of Python programming, including variables, data types, and basic operators.
2. Write Simple Python Programs: Develop and execute basic Python scripts that perform essential tasks and calculations.
3. Use Control Structures: Implement control flow statements such as conditionals (if, elif, else) and loops (for, while) to manage the execution flow of programs.
4. Work with Data Structures: Manipulate and utilize built-in data structures such as lists, tuples, dictionaries, and sets for efficient data storage and retrieval.
5. Handle Files and Exceptions: Read from and write to files, and manage exceptions to build robust and error-resistant programs.
6. Create Functions and Modules: Define and invoke functions to organize code into reusable blocks and use modules to structure larger programs.
7. Understand Object-Oriented Programming (OOP): Apply the principles of OOP, including classes, objects, inheritance, and polymorphism, to create modular and scalable code.
8. Utilize Libraries and Frameworks: Leverage Python’s extensive standard library and popular external libraries for tasks such as data manipulation, web development, and more.
9. Debug and Test Code: Employ debugging techniques and testing frameworks to identify and fix bugs, ensuring code correctness and reliability.
10. Develop a Final Project: Integrate the skills learned throughout the course to build a comprehensive final project that demonstrates a solid understanding of Python programming concepts and best practices.
