About this Course


This course introduces the basics of Python 3, including conditional execution and iteration as control structures,
and strings and lists as data structures. You'll program an on-screen Turtle to draw pretty pictures. You'll also
learn to draw reference diagrams as a way to reason about program executions, which will help to build up your
debugging skills. The course has no prerequisites. It will cover Chapters 1-9 of the textbook "Fundamentals of
Python Programming," which is the accompanying text (optional and free) for this course.

The course is for you if you're a newcomer to Python programming, if you need a refresher on Python basics, or
if you may have had some exposure to Python programming but want a more in-depth exposition and vocabulary
for describing and reasoning about programs.

This is the first of five courses in the Python 3 Programming Specialization.

Syllabus

Week 1

General Introduction
In week one you will be introduced to programming in python through lectures and the Runestone
textbook - an interactive online textbook built for this course. By the end of the module, you will have
run your first python program, and learned how to draw images by writing a program.

Week 2

Sequences and Iteration


In week two you will use the lectures and the Runestone textbook to understand the basics of a few
python data types - lists, strings, tuples - as well as a control structure - for loops. By the end of this
week, you will be able to write more complex programs that create drawings by incorporating for loops.
Finally, we will present the basics of an accumulation pattern to you, which will be expanded on in
each week for the rest of the course.

Week 3

Booleans and Conditionals


In week three you will learn a new python data type - the boolean - as well as another control structure
- conditional execution. Through the use of video lectures and the Runestone textbook, you will learn
what Binary, Unary, Nested, and Chained Conditionals are, as well as how to incorporate conditionals
within an accumulation pattern.

Week 4

Sequence Mutation and Accumulation Patterns


In week four we will present deeper knowledge on using lists, strings, and python objects in general.
We will also cover how to use the accumulation pattern with lists and with strings. The final
assignment will test your knowledge and skills through application, much like previous assessments
and assignments did, though with a more difficult set of tasks now that you have learned the basics.
