ITEC Tutor and Peer Instructor hours

ITEC109 is an introduction to Problem Solving and Programming. It introduces

• the notions of problem-solving, algorithms, and pseudocode;
• problem specification, top-down design, stepwise refinement;
• functions and parameters; variables and assignment;
• numeric, string, and boolean types;
• conditional statements and basic loops;
• arrays and compound data (objects-with-fields);
• an introduction to (object-oriented) methods.

Most students find the course demanding, but also rewarding. This course is often taken by (a) students considering an ITEC major who want an prepatory programming course before taking ITEC 120, (b) business students who want a solid understanding of programming fundamentals, and (c) math students in the applied-math or stat concentration. ITEC 109 qualifies for minor credit for either one of the IT or IS minors. It also satisfies the pre-req for 226 (digital imaging for web) and 227 (animation for web).
