Course Detail:

Course Name: Introduction to Python

Introduction

The Introduction to Python course at the Bangladesh-Korea Information Access Center (BK-IAC) is designed for beginners and professionals aiming to learn the basics of Python programming. It covers essential programming concepts, data structures, and an introduction to Object-Oriented Programming (OOP). Participants will gain hands-on experience with Python, which is a powerful, easy-to-learn, and widely used programming language. This course will serve as a foundational step for learning Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence, Large Language Models (LLMs), Business Analytics, and related fields.

Objectives

To provide an introduction to the fundamentals of Python programming.
To equip participants with essential skills for working with variables, data types, and functions in Python.
To introduce data structures such as lists, tuples, sets, and dictionaries.
To explore basic programming concepts like conditional statements, loops, and built-in functions.
To introduce Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) concepts in Python.
To demonstrate practical implementation through assignments and projects.

Prerequisite

This course is suitable for beginners with no prior programming experience. A basic understanding of computer operations is recommended. If you have prior programming experience, this course will serve as a quick introduction to Python.

Tentative Class Schedule

The course length will be 3 weeks with two classes in each week and 3 hours in each class. The tentative lecture plan of the course is as follows:

Class#	Content
1	Motivation for Learning Python, Introduction to Python, Introduction to Notebook (e.g., Jupyter Notebook)
2	Variables in Python, Numbers, Booleans, Strings, Comments
3	Functions, User Input, Operators (Arithmetic, Relational, Logical), Lists, Tuples, Sets, Dictionaries
4	Conditional Statements (`if`, `elif`, `else`), Loop Statements (`for` and `while` loops)
5	Built-in Functions in Python, `range`, `enumerate`, `zip`, `filter`, `map`, Introduction to OOP
6	OOP Advanced (Inheritance, Polymorphism), Future Directions, Concluding Remarks and Q&A

Learning and Evaluation Method

Classes will be conducted in a multimedia-equipped environment.
Expert faculty members from the field of Computer Science will lead each class.
All instructors are faculty members from the Department of CSE, BUET.
Participants will have access to PCs for practical exercises, ensuring an interactive learning experience.
An evaluation will take place through assignments and a final project at the end of the course.
We will provide a certificate upon successfully passing this course.
