Week 2 (January 27 – February 2)



Monday, January 27   (12:30 P.M. – 1:45 P.M., NWQB-6590)
Class Session 2
Topics
  • Review Solutions to Prior Week Assignment
  • Computers and Programs (Zelle 3e - Chapter 1)
  • Writing Simple Programs (Zelle 3e - Chapter 2)
  • Discussion
Required Readings
  • Zelle 3e - Chapter 1 (Computers and Programs)
  • Zelle 3e - Chapter 2 (Writing Simple Programs)
Optional Readings
  • Severance Chapter 1 (Why Should You Learn to Write Programs?). Note that I have marked readings in the Severance text as optional. Zelle and Severance provide complementary approaches to learning Python. So, especially for new programmers, I believe that it is worth the extra effort to do these optional readings in the Severance book.
  • Severance Chapter 2, Sections 2.1 through 2.6 ("Values and Types" through "Expressions")
  • Severance Chapter 5, Sections 5.6 through 5.7 ("Definite Loops Using for" through "Loop Patterns")
Required Recordings
