Class Experience

In this Advanced course, students will learn the theory of how Java works; and how they will learn how Java can be implemented. Each lesson is designed to go in-depth on a Computer Science concept so the students can fully understand what the idea is. The course will start with some introductory Java concepts such as input and output but will go into great detail on how these topics function. The students will spend the first four lessons learning new concepts and the theory of how these concepts and features work in Java. The fifth lesson will be exam preparation and the students will take their first AP practice test. The next four lessons will be on advanced concepts such as arrays and algorithms. The tenth and last lesson of the course will also be exam preparation and the students will end the class by taking another full practice test so they can know how well they will do on the exam. 


For a week to week program, check out the syllabus.

Learning Goals

Students delve into both theoretical understanding and practical implementation of Java concepts, beginning with foundational topics like input and output and progressing to advanced topics such as arrays and algorithms over ten lessons.
The course includes exam preparation with practice tests to assess comprehension and readiness for exams.

Lesson 3:
Inheritance and Polymorphism
 They will review how Superclasses and  Subclasses are created and implemented. They will go into detail on how classes are organized in an inheritance hierarchy. They will also discuss more advanced topics such as polymorphism and Interfaces. This lesson is designed to give the students a detailed overview of how class structure and reusability can be used within Java. 

Topics:
Inheritance
Polymorphism
Type Compatibility
Abstract Classes
Interfaces

Lesson 4:
Standard Classes
 The students will learn how to utilize multiple classes together to create and build their projects This class will discuss the root class of Java known as the Object class. This will give the students a better understanding of what is happening in Java when a class is created. The other classes reviewed during this lesson will be other useful classes that many students will most likely use within Java. 

Topics:
Object Class
String Class
Wrapper Class
Math Class
