Perfect 👍 Here’s a structured weekly syllabus (6 weeks) for your Python for Beginners course:

📘 Python for Beginners – 6-Week Course Syllabus

Week 1: Introduction & Basics

• What is Python? Why learn it?
• Installing Python & setting up IDE (IDLE, VS Code, or Jupyter Notebook)
• Writing your first program (Hello World!)
• Python syntax, indentation, and comments
• Variables and data types (numbers, strings, booleans)
• Hands-on: Write simple print & input-based programs

Week 2: Operators & Control Flow

• Arithmetic, comparison, logical, and assignment operators
• String operations (concatenation, slicing, formatting)
• Conditional statements: if, elif, else
• Loops: for, while, break, continue
• Hands-on: Even/odd checker, multiplication table, simple menu program

Week 3: Data Structures

• Lists: creation, indexing, slicing, and methods
• Tuples: immutable sequences
• Sets: unique elements, set operations
• Dictionaries: key-value pairs, accessing and updating
• Hands-on: Student gradebook, shopping cart simulation

Week 4: Functions & Modular Programming

• Defining and calling functions
• Function arguments & return values
• Built-in functions (len(), range(), max(), etc.)
• Importing and using modules (e.g., math, random)
• Hands-on: Calculator function, random number generator

Week 5: File Handling & Error Handling

• Reading and writing text files
• Understanding file modes (r, w, a)
• Introduction to exceptions
• Using try, except, and finally
• Hands-on: Save user input to a file, read from file, handle errors gracefully

Week 6: Mini Projects & Wrap-up

• Project 1: Guess the Number Game
• Project 2: Simple Contact Book
• Project 3: Basic Calculator (with file logging)
• Review of all key concepts
• Next steps: Introduction to OOP, web development, or data analysis with Python

✅ Final Outcome:
Students will complete 3 mini projects, understand all Python basics, and be confident in solving beginner-level programming problems. They’ll also be ready for intermediate topics like object-oriented programming, libraries (NumPy, Pandas), and real-world applications.
