Our adaptable hybrid learning experience is designed to provide you with the chance to effectively manage work, family commitments, and other obligations as a busy adult learner. Embracing a blend of in-person and online elements, you'll attend one day of engaging in-person classes while experiencing the convenience of online education for the remainder. To enroll in this course, it's essential to have access to a computer with internet connectivity and the necessary software and attend the in-person class. The course content will be accessible from the very first day through the Canvas platform.
CS 110 introduces core computer science concepts through devlopment, design, and storytelling. You will learn computational thinking, data representation, human-computer interaction, ethics, and basic security while gaining hands-on practice with operating systems, the command line, and introductory web and programming tools. The course uses Attention-Driven Design (ADD) and a Pathways-to-Pipelines structure, so each pipeline builds skills and produces visible project progress.
Apply algorithmic techniques to solve computational problems.
Apply the program development process to problems that are solved using fundamental programming constructs and predefined data structures.Apply the programming development process to problems that are solved using fundamental programming constructs and predefined data structures
Compare and contrast the primitive data types; describe how each is stored in memory; and identify the criteria for selection.
Differentiate between the object-oriented, structured, and functional programming methodologies.
All assignments must be submitted through Canvas (and only as directed in the assignment instructions). Submissions sent by email, including SBVC email, will not be accepted and will receive no grade. No exceptions. Assignments must be uploaded to Canvas before the posted due date.This course uses a straight points-based grading system. A total of 1000 points earns an A. See the points table below for full grade ranges.
This is a hybrid , in-person and online course. To participate in this class you must attend the scheduled classes and have access to an internet connected computer with appropriate software installed. Refer to the supported hardware list and required software before you enroll in this course.

This is a P2P (Pathways to Pipelines) course. That means your learning is supported by optional game-based experiences tied to the course, including virtual, AR, and real-world activities such as scavenger hunts, clues, and community challenges. These activities are designed to increase engagement while offering additional opportunities to apply course concepts and extend critical thinking beyond the core subject matter. Most P2P details are intentionally discovery-based. The full rules, game systems, and the “worlds” where you can earn units are yours to explore through the Discord community. Ask questions, follow leads, and collaborate with others as you uncover how everything works. If you are not sure what “units” are, that is expected. In P2P, curiosity is part of the design. Treat that question as your first quest. PIPELINE CONTRACTS: During pipelines, contracts may be established between students and instructor(s) for units, work orders, or other agreements in which units are earned as compensation or applied toward assignments. This introduces another quest: discover more by asking around about the P2P Marketplace. Contracts are essential when working in a group to ensure that those who complete their assigned tasks are protected. Not sure how to create a contract? Congratulations, your next step is to check your Discord for guidance! Remember: these items grant abilities beyond the intended scope of the course, which is why discovery and exploration are left up to you.
Quizzes are contingent on Discord participation and peer support. If students actively help others on Discord when needed, quizzes will be waived and the quiz points will be automatically credited to the overall course score. If students are not willing to support one another when needed, quizzes will be reinstated and administered once per week.To activate the quiz-waiver option, students must present it to the professor as a simple contract agreement. Only approved contracts are valid.
The Final Project is an individual assignment by default. It is your chance to show creativity, make your own design choices, and demonstrate what you can build.You may choose to complete the Final Project as part of a group, but only if the group is formally organized. If you choose group work, these rules apply: Group formation: You choose the group size and members. Group lead required: Your group must appoint a lead (the lead may be a non-student). The lead sets participation requirements and assigns tasks. Member responsibilities: Each member is responsible for completing their assigned work as defined by the lead. Accountability: If a member does not complete their tasks, the lead may remove them from the group. If you are removed from a group, you may: Continue the Final Project individually, or Join another group (if that group accepts you). Contract requirement: A Final Project becomes a group project only if the group submits a simple written contract that lists members, the group lead, and expectations. Gatekeeper role during the Final Project: During this phase, the professor becomes the gatekeeper. The professor will maintain presence and verify standards, but will not serve as the source of answers. At this point, learners should operate in independent study mode, using resources, peers, and problem-solving to move forward.
Pipeline games are designed to give learners other opportunities. None of the games, units, or extra items presented as a pipeline game or web portal is required to take or pass this course. No pipeline game participation is required or necessary to successfully complete or understand elements of this course.
