This course prepares students to take the College Board's Advanced Placement Computer Science A exam and it is roughly equivalent to a first semester college course. Students will design and write object-oriented programs to solve stated problems using the AP prescribed subset of the Java language, employing classes, methods, conditionals, loops, arrays, recursion, and sorting/searching algorithms. Working with the designated AP case study provides experience with a large project, and organization and documentation is emphasized. Students who successfully complete the course and the AP exam may receive credit, advanced placement or both.
