Description

If you or teenagers you know are studying Computer Science and want to master fundamental concepts and achieve top scores in the exams, this is the course for you! Designed specifically for international school students, home schoolers, and independent students studying IGCSE Computer Science, GCSE Computer Science, or High School Computer Science, this course will guide you through the fundamentals of algorithms and algorithmic design, as well as the concepts and skills of programming. By the end of this course you will not only be able to create computer programs but will understand how they are designed and built, and be able to apply fundamental concepts of problem solving using computer programs.This course is intended to guide learners through a high-school level (IGCSE, IB Diploma, or similar) curriculum. It is intended to be purchased by adults over 18 years old, either for their own fundamental learning, or to be then given to a younger person to use. According to Udemy's regulations, "Those under 18 may use the services only if a parent or guardian opens their account, handles any enrollments, and manages their account usage." If you are under 18, I encourage you to take this course but to let your parent or legal guardian manage the enrollment and payment.In this course, you will be able to:Review the Computer Science syllabus in a logical and organized mannerGain a deep understanding of each topic through clear explanations and illustrative images and videosReinforce your knowledge with interactive quizzes and exercisesKeep track of your learning with helpful study guidesGet instant feedback on your progress and identify areas you need to work on.This course includes:Video lessons covering the key topics of algorithms, algorithmic design, and computer programmingQuizzes and exercises to reinforce your understandingDownloadable study guidesAccess to expert instructors for support and guidanceA supportive community of like-minded students to share your journeyThis course is taught by a highly experienced Computer Science teacher who has spent many years teaching the subject in top-class international schools around the world, preparing students for success in many curricula and exams. He is a certified and highly qualified Computer Science teacher at the secondary level as well as at other levels.This IGCSE Computer Science (O Level) masterclass is offered by LearnFire on Udemy. This masterclass covers all the content needed to write the IGCSE and GCSE Computer Science exams offered by Pearson Edexcel or Cambridge CIE or other exam boards like Oxford AQA. It also covers the basics of content required by the IB Diploma Computer Science course, AP Computer Science, or other High School or Secondary School Computer Science programs.
