By the end of the course, students should:
- Realize that computer science is about much more than just programming, and appreciate the breadth of computer science as a discipline.
- Be able to conceptualize computer science as being rooted in algorithms.
- Be able to write and understand algorithms that employ the basic constructs of modern computer languages, including variables, arrays, conditionals, and iteration.
- Be able to take a specification of a moderately difficult problem, model the problem in terms of objects, and transform the model into a working object-oriented program that solves the problem.
