        COMPUTER SCIENCE 20 
        Computer Science 20 is an introduction to problem-solving using programming languages. Students will investigate 
        the use of data types, control structures, functions, common coding techniques and one-dimensional arrays to solve 
        a range of problems. Additionally, students will explore the technologies that underlie the internet, the evolution of 
        computing machinery and computer security practices and privacy implications. Lastly, students will have the 
        opportunity to create a major project.

          The course will include a number of different types of assignments and evaluations that will incorporate many 
            different evaluative approaches.  
          All students will be REQUIRED to complete all assignments and exams in this class.  
          All students that are absent from an exam with an unexcused absence will receive a grade of “0”.   
          Any NHI assignments will turn to a grade of zero after the semester OAR dates have passed.
