Spotlight on Computer Language as a Language<\/strong><\/h2>\n

What’s this class about?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Does the idea of “computer programming” sound completely foreign? What about coding? This half block course, which likens learning computer code to learning a new language, is for you.<\/p>\n

Typically, computer programming classes approach programming from a mathematical\u00a0problem solving\u00a0approach, which fits with the reasoning strategies most frequently used in computer science. In this experimental non-credit course, we will approach computer programming as a communication problem and work from analogies with natural language to explore and learn programming skills. No previous programming experience is expected, and humanities and social science majors are especially encouraged to register.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

What are the times and dates?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

All of Half Block: January 8-18, with class from 9am-noon.<\/p>\n

What kinds of skills will I learn?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Besides learning the basics of the computer programming language python, you’ll also learn a new pedagogical strategy!<\/p>\n
