| Course Name: | Computer Programming-Basic I | | Course Code: | 0201330 | | Honors Course Code: | | | AP Course Code: | | | Description: |
Using a programming language called Qbasic, you will learn some fundamental programming functions which can help you learn a more advanced programming language in the future. You will use flowcharts, algebreic skills, and analogical processes to create structured programs. If students have a programming apptitude, this course teaches students to program and learn a programming language.
Students may require other courses to sharpen their basic computer literacy skills before taking this course which requires advanced computer skills. This course does not teach basic computer literacy skills. You will learn how to define problems, create algorithms and pseudocode flow charts, code your programs, test and debug your programs, and document them.
The purpose of this course is to help you a build a programming foundation that you can use when learning more advanced computer programming languages.

| Course Assessment and
Participation Requirements: | Besides engaging students in challenging curriculum, FLVS guides students to reflect on their learning and to evaluate their progress through a variety of assessments. Assessments can be in the form of self-checks, practice lessons, multiple choice questions, writing computer programs, oral assessments, and discussions. Instructors evaluate progress and provide interventions through the variety of assessments built into a course, as well as through contact with the student in other venues.
