Goals for CSC 121 are:

1. Be able to write small (two pages) programs independently of outside help
2. Begin to develop technical writing skills
3. Have developed simple habits of secure programming

Course outcomes for CSC 121 are:

• how to write 2 - 3 page programs in a high level language
• how to document code and a program
• how to come up with a simple testing plan that includes input, output, and some error conditions
• how to work with a simple IDE to debug a program

Program outcomes for CSC 121 are:

1. Analyze a complex computing problem and to apply principles of computing and other relevant disciplines to identify solutions. (Computing student learning outcome 1)
2. Design, implement, and evaluate a computing-based solution to meet a given set of computing requirements in the context of the program\x92s discipline. (Computing student learning outcome 2)
3. Communicate effectively in a variety of professional contexts. (Computing student learning outcome 3)
4. Recognize professional responsibilities and make informed judgments in computing practice based on legal, ethical, and moral principles. (Computing student learning outcome 4)
5. Understand and use appropriate cloud technologies in specified areas (Computing student learning outcome 8)
6. Apply computer science theory and software development fundamentals to produce computing-based solutions. (Computer Science student learning outcome 1)
7. Apply security principles and practices to maintain operations in the presence of risks and threats. (Cyber Security student learning outcome 1)
