The applications for AP Computer Science Principles and AP Computer Science A are now open for the 2019-20 school year. Applications are due by February 22, 2019. Email me if you would like a link to the application.
AP Computer Science Principles: This course is open to students in grades 10 - 12. APCS Principles is a broad look at computing. We will learn to program in several different languages, analyze how the internet works, study Big Data and explore the global impact of computing. The AP score is comprised of a multiple choice exam in May and two performance based tasks that are completed during the school year. Excellent course for beginner programmers! Prerequisite: B or higher in math.. Prior programming experience is not required! More info can be found at the APCSP college board webpage. AP Computer Science A: This course is open to students in grades 11 & 12. AP Computer Science A is an introduction to Java programming course. It will cover Java fundamentals and Object Oriented programming. Because the development of computer programs to solve problems is a skill fundamental to the study of computer science, a large part of the course is built around the development of computer programs or parts of programs that correctly solve a given problem. The course also emphasizes the design issues that make programs understandable, adaptable, and, when appropriate, reusable. This is the highest level AP Computer science course that is offered. Prerequisites: B or higher in an honors level math OR recommendation of current computer science teacher. More information can be found on the College Board website: Questions?
