Figure out if you really want to continue in computer science or software engineering. Designed to provide students with the flexibility to work across many disciplines. Computing is a broad field that connects to and draws from many disciplines, including mathematics, electrical engineering, psychology, statistics, fine arts, linguistics, and physical and life sciences. You will develop the flexibility to work across disciplines.

Lecture
This course is programming-focused; you will learn about concepts in computer science (e.g., abstraction, decomposition, etc.) through the explicit tasks of learning a given programming language (Python) and building software artifacts. However, it is important that you do not perceive computer science as only learning the specifics of a particular programming language. Care has been taken to emphasize the more general concepts in computing within the context of learning how to program.
Why Learn Programming?
Learning computer programming helps you think critically and creatively, improves problem-solving abilities, and helps you to understand how a computer works; skills that are valuable for all fields of study and careers.
Computer science is about solving problems, and making cool things.
