Abstract: In this paper we present an innovative approach to teaching an introductory programming course for non-majors using the Python programming language. Lecture structure and suggestions of topics (course outline) on developing and designing the course are briefly presented. This teaching approach could be easily adapted to teach introductory programming courses to majors, including Information Systems majors.

Keywords: pedagogy, innovative teaching approach, teaching tips, Python programming language
