COMPUTER SCIENCE PRINCIPLES (PLTW) (L2760)<br />
10 Credits, One Year, Grades 9, 10, 11, 12<br />
This course meets the CSU and the UC subject ‘g’ elective<br />
college entrance requirement.<br />
Location: ROP at Logan<br />
Prerequisite: Some background in computer science is recommended<br />
but not required. This is an introductory course<br />
and is designed for students who wish to explore computer<br />
science with lots of hands on activities. This course should be<br />
the first in the CS sequence.<br />
This course implements the Project Lead the Way, College<br />
Board endorsed APCS Principles framework. Using Python®<br />
as a primary tool and incorporating multiple platforms and<br />
languages for computation, this course aims to develop computational<br />
thinking, generate excitement about career paths<br />
that utilize computing, and introduce professional tools that<br />
foster creativity and collaboration. Computer Science Principles<br />
helps students develop programming expertise and explore<br />
the workings of the Internet. Projects and problems<br />
include app development, visualization of data, cybersecurity,<br />
and simulation. Students are highly encouraged to<br />
take the AP Computer Science Principles exam in May to<br />
earn college credit. This course may not be repeated for<br />
credit.<br />
ADVANCED PLACEMENT (AP) COMPUTER SCIENCE A (L2750)<br />
10 Credits, One Year, Grades 10, 11, 12<br />
This course meets the CSU and the UC subject ‘g’ elective<br />
college entrance requirement.<br />
Prerequisite: Completion of Computer Science Principles, or<br />
grade of C or better in both semesters of Geometry, or<br />
teacher recommendation.<br />
This course introduces the student to the science of creating<br />
solutions to problems through the use of computer programming.<br />
Students will learn how to program in the JAVA,<br />
spending about half of class time in lecture and discussion<br />
and the other half working in a lab situation using computers.<br />
Students will learn the basic organization of the computer,<br />
along with the standard methods in computer science<br />
curriculum. Evaluation is based on the completion of assigned<br />
programs and teacher-prepared test and quizzes.<br />
Homework is assigned daily. Students are highly encouraged<br />
to take the AP Computer Science A exam in May to earn college<br />
credit. This course may not be repeated for credit.<br />
COMPUTER SCIENCE 3 (L2770)<br />
10 Credits, One Year, One Period, Grades 11, 12<br />
Prerequisite: AP Computer Science A with a grade of “C” or<br />
above and teacher recommendation.<br />
This is a an advanced computer science course that explores<br />
applications using programming methodology, algorithms,<br />
and data structures. Students in this class will have the opportunity<br />
to learn several different computer languages such<br />
as JAVA or assembly language and multimedia programs<br />
such as Flash and Dream Weaver. Students may also explore<br />
the social and statistical applications of computer science in<br />
research projects for national scholarship competitions. The<br />
course is designed for students interested in further real-life<br />
studies of computer science. This course may not be repeated<br />
for credit.<br />
