Course Summary: The course designed to introduce basic python programming language. It provides
students with programming concepts, creating and working computer programs in Python. It helps
them deal with modular programming and structure; which covers python basics, control structure,
function, sequences, string processing, and GUI.

I. Course Learning Outcomes (CLO):


At the end of the course, students will be able to:
CLO1: Describe and implement fundamental concepts about python basics, function,
string and sequence
CLO2: Design and Implement modular programming using python functions to solve
real world problems.
CLO3: Apply file management and exceptions concepts and principles to develop, test
and debug a program to understand aspects of program development.
CLO4: Describe and implement object-oriented programming concepts such as classes,
objects and inheritance using python.
CLO5: Demonstrate and apply the concepts and principles of Python programming
language to real world problems to develop a computer-based solution.
CLO6: Collaborate in to design GUI and interact with widgets through python
programming to enhance project development skill
