CMSC 111 is a deep dive into the fundamentals of programming
concepts and teaches text-based programming using Python. Each unit provides
detailed examples, engaging exercises to develop problem-solving skills,
end-of-unit exercises that require students to synthesize the topics in that
unit, and creative tasks, where students use their creativity and apply these
topics in inventive ways that interest them. The course is predicated on the
notion that learning about programming and computer science should be fun and
engaging. Therefore, students are exposed to graphics-based problems that are
visually engaging, allow for multiple correct solutions, and provide visual
cues when a solution goes awry.
