This course covers the fundamentals of computational problem analysis and problem-solving methodologies. Students will be introduced to logical strategies and structures that can be used to frame narrative problems into programmable structures, to develop testing plans, to effectively analyze and remove errors, and to ensure the resulting solution satisfies the original requirements. As part of this exploration, students will learn to independently and collaboratively solve computational problems using various methods.

In this course students will learn to create database tables, queries, forms and reports using a leading database software product for personal computers. Students will also learn how to design a database from user specifications, and to form basic SQL commands.
