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 />

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 />
