The AP Computer Science A course consists of 10 units as prescribed by the college board. The topics include primitive types, using objects, boolean expressions and if statements, iteration, writing classes, arrays, ArrayList, 2D Arrays, Inheritance, and recursion. Only the topics chosen by the learner will be covered through discussion, sample AP questions, and coding. I will try to implement all learning styles to ensure material retention. During the session, we will be sharing screen to share solutions to challenges presented in the session.
Learning Goals
The goal for these tutoring sessions will be to help the learner receive a high grade on the AP Computer Science A national exam.
