Pre-requisite: Logical Reasoning

Course Description: The Python Programming course introduces students to the

fundamentals of programming using Python, a versatile and beginner-friendly language.
This course emphasizes problem-solving skills, algorithmic thinking, and real-world
applications. Students will learn Python syntax, control structures, functions,
object-oriented programming, and libraries for data handling. Hands-on practice and
projects ensure a solid foundation for tackling computational challenges and building
scalable solutions.

In this Python Programming course, students gain practical experience through:

●​ Coding Exercises: Implement and test Python programming concepts,

including data types, loops, functions, and algorithms.
●​ Lab Sessions: Complete structured labs that focus on Python-specific topics,
such as file handling, libraries, and object-oriented programming.
●​ Programming Assignments: Work on incremental projects that enhance
Python coding skills and integrate algorithms for real-world applications.
●​ Group Projects: Collaborate on larger projects using Python, practicing
teamwork, version control (e.g., Git), and modular design.
●​ Debugging and Testing: Develop and run test cases using Python frameworks
and apply debugging techniques to ensure functional and error-free code.
