If you want to demystify the magic behind the computer this class is for you! 



Goals:

In this year long course Students will create a base of information and skills that they will use in their adult life. They will be creators of computing artifacts; they will gain knowledge of how to create and use software and the impact of computing on our society!


This class will follow the approved College Board curriculum for the AP Computer Science Principles course. During the course, students will choose from a multitude of programming languages to develop a create performance task to submit to College Board. Students will also create an explore performance task to submit to College Board. The AP Computer Science Principles multiple choice exam which is given on Friday, May 5, 2017 (afternoon session) is required.
Materials Needed:

  • Optional: a flash drive with a long lanyard attached to the drive itself, not the cap. It should also have your name on the outside of the device.

  • You will need a 3” binder. All materials including labs, handouts, quizzes, tests and assignments will be put in the binder.

Expectations:

  • Treat everyone in our class with kindness and respect

  • Please keep in mind Thomas A. Edison’s words “Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.”

  • Please no food or drink at the computer work station

  • Do not modify the desk top or save to the hard drive

  • Store only appropriate files on your server space and flash drive and do not abuse the computers, printers or access privileges

  • This is a college level course so independent study and reading is expected!


Grades:

  • Your grade is determined by the points you accumulate in your assignments including: homework, labs, quizzes, tests and possibly class participation. Summative tests, quizzes and some projects will have a weight of 70%, all other assignments will have a weight of 30%.

  • Late assignments will be penalized accordingly

  • The final exam and midterm exam will each be worth 10%

  • The Hudson High School grading scare will be used.



Absences:

If you are absent, it is your responsibility to see me the day you return to school to get your handouts and assignments. Excused absences will have the number of days absent to make up the work.
