Homework
1 hour per week. Homework will be assigned in every class for Java/python and every other class for web programming. It can be assigned or not based on parent request but the progress and retention is greatly improved when learners do 30-40 minutes of homework a week.Assessment
We will do assessments if I feel the learner needs help with retaining the content. Assessments will happen at the end of 6-8 sessions covering the content already covered. The assessment will involve a live coding test with the questions already provided in advance, unless the learner is very advanced.Class Experience
--------------------------- Hi there! Please message me to schedule these with info about your learner(age, language if known, level, timezone). During summers, there is less availability so I recommend looking at my group camps instead of my 1:1s. Thanks! --------------------------- Customizable 1:1 class - choose the language and/or set of topics from Java, Python or Web Programming 10-11 year olds/new to programming: Recommend starting with Web programming 12+ year olds: Recommend start with web programming and then do Java 13+: Any --------------------------- Pre-requisites: Learner needs to know how to type on the computer and be able to copy and paste text from one spot to another. Parents can teach them copy paste before the class. --------------------------- Java Introductory Java: Topics covered --------------------------- * Hello World, Primitive data types: int, double and String * String operations, primitive type char, boolean, casting between double and int * Methods, arguments and return types, loops * Basic Algorithms: traverse single array, traverse two arrays * Classes and objects * Class Inheritance --------------------------- Intermediate Java - Topics covered: * Error checks, types of exceptions, exception handling, finally and final * Abstract classes and interfaces, use of super keyword * Java enums, constants, object equality * Access modifiers: public private protected * Medium level algorithms: reverse a string, nested loops, odd and even number sums, multi dimensional arrays * Memory usage of various data types, garbage collection, finalize method, complexity of algorithm (Big O) --------------------------- Advanced Java - Coming soon --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Web programming topics --------------------------- This class is a project based class that teaches HTML, CSS and JavaScript to learners. Each week we build a new webpage with images, styles, elements, layouts and colors to build a beautiful creation. This is a fun way for kids to learn the technology as well as enjoy the results. Topics covered (on average in 8 weeks): * What is HTML and CSS: learn basic structure of a web page using tags such as HTML, HEAD, BODY and the DOCTYPE declaration. * Create a simple web page using paragraphs and headings. Add colors, padding and basic styles using CSS * Create a table using the <TABLE>, <TD>, <TH>, <TR> tags. Add images, headings to the table. Add basic styles such as table width, background-color, etc. * Create unordered and ordered lists using the UL, OL and LI tags. Add styles such as font-size, border and color. * Positioning DIVs to appear at specific places on the page using CSS for absolute and relative positioning. * Adding form elements such as checkboxes, input boxes, textareas and buttons to a web page. * Participating in an HTML quiz to help recollection. Learn to use matching colors and find images with the right extensions. Practice skills already done. * Additional CSS styles such as fonts, use of more CSS selectors based on id and class attributes. Use of style attribute. JavaScript topics (8 weeks syllabus, 11+ year olds) ------------------------------------------------ JavaScript - innerHTML - Create a calculator that adds, subtracts, multiplies and divides two numbers. JavaScript - createElement: Insert(or delete) a List Item dynamically to/from a list on click on a button. JavaScript - createElement: Fill a form and insert a new row of data to a table JavaScript - Math.random(): Create a gameA using random numbers and display the results. JavaScript - Math.random(): Create a gameB using random numbers and display the results. JavaScript - for loops - Learn how to use for loops for basic loop operations on arrays JavaScript - graphics - Draw circle and rectangle shapes to the canvas JavaScript - animation - Make a circle bounce on the canvas edges ________________ Python - language introduction - topics similar to Introductory Java
Learning Goals
This is meant to be a class where learners learn by coding by hand. Each project teaches them new areas that can use in future projects too. They get better at better at writing code, designing the pages the way they want and building an entire portfolio of beautiful web pages.
The class helps them stay excited about coding and learning more since the projects are meant to keep them engaged and excited.
