What is AP Computer Science a unit planning notes?
The Unit Planning Notes section provides space for teachers to make notes on their approach to the individual topics and the unit as a whole. When enough content has been covered to complete an AP Computer Science A lab, an icon has been added to this section. Teachers can also choose to integrate lab activities earlier as they cover the content.
What questions are on the AP Computer Science a exam?
The AP Computer Science A Exam may include questions that ask about the design as well as the implementation of classes or a simple hierarchy of classes. design question provides students with a description of the type of information that an object should encapsulate and of operations on that information that an object should provide.
What is the AP Computer Science a book?
Know these algorithms! This book is aimed at students reviewing for the AP Computer Science A exam. It would normally be used at the completion of an AP course. However, it contains a complete summary of all topics for the exam, and it can be used for self-study if accompanied by a suitable textbook.
What is the AP Computer Science Framework?
The AP Computer Science A framework included in the course and exam description outlines distinct skills, called computational thinking practices, that students should practice throughout the year—skills that will help them learn to think and act like computer scientists. 1. Program Design and Algorithm Development
