3 Computer programming

SM123 will introduce you to computer programming using the Python programming language. You are not expected to have any previous knowledge of computer programming in order to begin studying SM123. However, if you wish to get a head start on this aspect of the module, you should take a look at the free Open Learn course “Simple Coding” which is available here: https://www.open.edu/ openlearn/ digital-computing/ simple-coding/ content-section-0?active-tab=description-tab This course is designed to take 2 hours of study and mirrors much of what you will encounter during your first week of Python study in SM123.
