CSC 102: Introduction to Programming: 2 hours.
Description
A gentle introduction to programming for students with no or limited computer programming experience. Students will write small computer programs to practice problem solving and programming methodologies. Labs will be structured around the language common in a given discipline. Lab: CSC 102L
Goals for CSC 102 are:
- Have an introductory knowledge of programming
- Be able to write simple programs
Course outcomes for CSC 102 are:
Upon completion of CSC 102, students will understand:
- how to write simple programs
- programming terms including variables, selection, repetition, functions/procedures.
Program outcomes for CSC 102 are:
- Analyze a complex computing problem and apply principles of computing and other relevant disciplines to identify solutions. (Computing student learning outcome 1.1)
- Design, implement, and evaluate a computing-based solution to meet a given set of computing requirements in the context of the program’s discipline. (Computing student learning outcome 2)
- Communicate effectively in a variety of professional contexts. (Computing student learning outcome 3)
- Function effectively as a member or leader of a team engaged in activities appropriate to the program’s discipline. (Computing student learning outcome 5)
Integration
- Note taking at the introductory level via accountability for class notes
- Team work at the introductory level by working in pairs with a robot
- Professionalism at the introductory level by requiring all communications about the course to be at a professional level
- Ethics at an introductory level by covering:
- being honest about what your software can and cannot do
- encouraging their project to be socially responsible
- Cybersecurity at the introductory level by covering:
- secure programming in terms of what crazy input can be given to the program.
- Verbal communications at an introductory level by requiring each team to present their project and include the some grading of the quality of the presentation as part of the rubric with feedback on how to improve

- Reactions to current events/publications. A reaction to an article includes enough to convince me that you have read the entire article and not just the headline or first paragraph. It should include s summary of what was said and your reaction. Be sure to give a complete reference to the item. These should be turned in as a hard copy in class within one week of the item being published. You may pick when. Each one does have a deadline. These must be unique to this course

< | Campus Integrity Policy
The student handbook (p. 156) states: “Any act of deceit, falsehood or stealing by unethically copying or using someone else’s work in an academic situation is strictly prohibited.
- A student found guilty of plagiarism or cheating will receive an “F”(zero) for that particular paper, assignment or exam. Should this occur, the professor will have an interview with the student and will submit a written report of the incident to the academic dean.
- If a second offense should occur, the student will be asked to appear before the professor, the academic dean and the vice president for student development.
The student should realize that at this point continuation in a course and even his/her academic career may be in jeopardy. In the event of a recommendation for dismissal, the matter shall be referred to the Student Development Committee.”
AI Use Policy
It is expected that any coursework (including, but not limited to, essays, papers, exams, projects, and lab reports) submitted by a student will be a product of their own creation, demonstrating their achievement of the learning outcomes related to the assigned task. With this in mind, note that submitting work that includes unauthorized or undocumented use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) may be considered as cheating or plagiarism. If you are unsure about appropriate use of AI on a given assignment, talk with your professor.
Services
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a law which provides civil rights protection for people with disabilities. Bethel University, in compliance with equal access laws, requests that students with disabilities seeking to acquire accommodations make an appointment with the Center for Academic Success—Disability Services. It is located in the Miller-Moore Academic Center, 033. You may also phone 574-807-7460 or email rachel.kennedy@betheluniversity.edu for an appointment.

AI Use Policy
Bethel University recognizes that Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools are becoming increasingly common in professional, academic, and educational settings. The purpose of this policy is to encourage the responsible, ethical, and transparent use of AI, while preserving academic integrity and ensuring that students develop and demonstrate the critical thinking, knowledge, skills, and competencies required by each course. Because learning outcomes and appropriate uses of AI vary across disciplines, courses, and assignments, expectations for AI use will be established by individual instructors in accordance with the learning objectives of their courses.
