Depending on the format requested there may be an assignment during class. If the student does not finish during class they may be asked to finish before the start of the next class.Assessment
In-class assignments are informally assessed and feedback is left in the online code editor for the student to view.Class Experience
The structure and content of this class is flexible due to the nature of the class. I teach several courses on Outschool, including Python, Java, and web design using html and css. In my structured classes I teach a topic, followed by time for the student to apply the topic to an online assignment in a coding environment (usually replit.com). If we are learning a language from start to end the same format will be followed. If the student is looking for specific help instead, the format will be more of a question and answer session. The topic(s) covered are determined by the student and parents. I'm happy to teach the introduction of a programming language I know from start to finish, or cover specific requested topics. On Outschool I teach Python, Java, and web design using html and css. The topics I cover are listed on those Outschool courses for you to browse. I am also a brick and mortar computer science teacher. I teach Scratch, Javascript, and basic cybersecurity courses in-person for my day job and would be happy to cover any of those topics as well. If there is another topic you are interested in please ask, if I feel confident in the topic I'm happy to teach it.
Other Details
Parental Guidance
Most programming languages will require a code editor. I typically use one of several online code editors, most often replit.com. An account is required, but information is not collected by the site. I use all of these resources in my own school district where privacy rules are followed.
In an attempt to be upfront, please be aware replit is on the unapproved list for children under 13 on Outschool; however, replit is an approved resource in most brick and mortar schools, including my own.
