Recommendation: Concurrent enrollment in or completion of CIS 101 or CIS 102 or equivalent with a grade of Credit or "C" or higher. This is an introductory course in computer programming logic. The student will learn concepts applicable to all programming languages, including; identifiers, data types, arrays, control structures, algorithms, modular programming, generating reports, and computer memory concepts. The student will learn to use charts commonly used in business and information processing. Program logic will be developed using flowcharts and pseudocode. Programs will be written using a programming language. The student will be introduced to the following additional topics: graphical user interface design, object-oriented-and event-driven programming, searching, sorting, and file processing concepts.
Transfer Credit: CSU; UC

Student Learning Outcomes

  1. Students identify seven steps in program development cycle.
  2. Students draw a flowchart to represent the program's logic.
  3. Students break down programming problems into modules.
  4. Students use if-then-else or if-then structure to test condition.
  5. Students use loop to accumulate totals.
  6. Students write simple code in Visual Basic or Java.
