Java Programming Using AP CSA Curriculum is a course for high school aged students to learn java programming. Younger students with prior programming experience may take this course, but keep in mind the pacing and material is designed as an AP level high school course. In addition to video chat and screen sharing, we will be using repl.it as a coding platform. I use repl.it in my physical classrooms as well. It provides a 100% online code editor with real-time feedback. Students can immediately run their code to see what the web site looks like. repl.it also provides the teacher the ability to assign classwork and share code with others in real time. Each student must have completed Unit 1 of this course to schedule Unit 2. Students will not be able to complete the work for Unit 2 if they have not yet learned the material from Unit 1. This is the second unit in an eight unit course. I will be following the same curriculum I use in my physical classroom to teach the AP level java programming course. Students do not need to continue on in the course unless they wish to learn more about java programming. Unit 2 covers the following topics: if statements if-else statements if-else-if statements random number generation logic operators switches A typical session involves several mini-lessons. I will share my screen in order to show students a new topic. Afterwards students will attempt to use the newly learned topic on their own repl.it screen with guidance from me when needed. Once all students have mastered a topic the class will move on to the next mini-lesson. If all students master every topic for the session we will move on to topics from the next session. If we reach the final session with extra time I will introduce some extended topics or topics the students request. Other units in this series cover the following: Unit 1: replit intro, print, asci art, variables, input, casting, math library Unit 2 – if statements, random number generator, logic operators, switches Unit 3 – characters, character class commands, strings, string class commands, converting strings Unit 4 – while loops, do-while loops, for loops Unit 5 – methods, parameters, method overloading, scope, magpie project Unit 6 – intro to arrays, processing arrays, copying arrays, methods with arrays, array class commands Unit 7 – 2D arrays, searches, sorts Unit 8 – objects and classes, advanced topics as time permits: inheritance, polymorphism, recursion
Learning Goals
Students will learn the basics of java in order to create programs that use if statements, switches, logic operators(and, or, not), and random number generators.
Other Details
Parental Guidance
Students are expected to use repl.it and join my classroom in order to take this course. Repl.it is student friendly. I use this resource in my physical classrooms as well. This does mean your student has access to code written by others, and any posts made by those users. You may read more at repl.it if you need more information. I will walk students through this process during the first session.
