ICS3C Winter 2015-2016


 

ICS3C

Introduction to Computer Programming, Grade 11

College Preparation

"This course introduces students to computer programming concepts and practices.  Students will write and test computer programs, using various problem-solving strategies.  They will learn the fundamentals of program design and apply a software development life-cycle model to a software development project.  Students will also learn about computer environments and systems, and explore environmental issues related to computers, safe computing practices, emerging technologies, and post-secondary opportunities in computer-related fields."
