Learning Environment: The course utilizes a blended classroom approach. The content is fully web-based, with students writing and running code in the browser. Teachers utilize tools and resources provided by CodeHS to leverage time in the classroom and give focused 1-on-1 attention to students. Each unit of the course is broken down into lessons. Lessons consist of video tutorials, short quizzes, example programs to explore, and written programming exercises, adding up to over 100 hours of hands-on programming practice in total. Each unit ends with a comprehensive unit test that assesses the student’s mastery of the material from that unit. Programming Environment: Students write and run Python programs in the browser Objectives / Topics Covered ● What is a Command? ● Moving Tracy ● Tracy’s Coordinate System ● For Loops ● Functions and Parameters ● Top Down Design ● Variables ● User Input ● If/else Statements ● While Loops Example Assignments / Labs ● 34 exercises total ● Example exercises: ○ Row of Circles ■ In this program, Tracy should draw a row of circles across the width of the canvas using a for loop. ○ Circle Pyramid ■ Write a program that directs Tracy to draw a pyramid with 3 circles on the bottom row, 2 in the middle, and 1 on top. ○ Bubble Wrap 2.0 ■ In this program, you should have Tracy add highlights to each bubble from our Bubble Wrap example program. Use top down design to break this large problem into smaller pieces! ○ Rating ■ Write a program that shows a graphical representation of a user’s rating value. If the value is between 1 and 4, draw a red X. If it is between 5 and 7, draw a yellow horizontal line. If it is an 8 or above, draw a green checkmark.
