Week 1
Lesson 1
Intro Java Language Features
This class is designed to review all of the basics of Java and clear up any confusion on the fundamentals of programming. The students will learn all of the fundamental concepts of Java and how Java can be used in practice. This lesson will help reinforce all of the fundamental skills necessary for the more advanced concepts of future lessons. 

Topics:
Packages and Classes
Types and Identifiers
Operators
Input/Output
Control Structures
Errors and Exceptions
Lesson 2
Classes and Objects
Classes and Objects are one of the most important concepts in Java and programming in general. Students will go in-depth into what classes are and how they can be used in Java. They will go into how classes are organized and structured with Java.  By the end of this class, the students should have a solid understanding of why classes are used in programming and how they can be used in Java to build applications.  

Topics:
Objects
Classes
Public, Private, Static
Methods
Scope
References
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
Lesson 5
Exam Preparation and Practice Test 1
The students will focus on how to prepare for the multiple-choice section of the test. The students will review what topics will be in the multiple-choice sections and how each student can best prepare for the questions. Once the exam review is finished, the students will take their first multiple choice practice test that will cover all of the topics from the previous lessons. 

Topics:
Tips for the Multiple-Choice Section
Practice Test 1 - Multiple Choice
 Week 2
Lesson 6
Program Design and Analysis
This class focuses on theory and practical skills for building projects and applications, covering software development techniques, debugging strategies for large projects, and designing applications with UML diagrams to structure class relationships.

Topics:
Software Development
Object-Oriented Program Design
Program Analysis
Lesson 7
Arrays and Array Lists
Arrays are another very important concept in Java. In this class, the students will go into depth on what an array is.The students will learn how java handles arrays internally. The  students will learn how arrays can be nested to create multidimensional arrays. This is another advanced topic that allows for complex programming patterns that will  be on the AP Exam.

Topics:
One-Dimensional Arrays
Array Lists
Two-Dimensional Arrays
Lesson 8
Recursion
This class dives deep into recursion, explaining its concept, practical applications in programming, and how Java utilizes recursive functions, aiming to demystify this challenging topic for beginners and intermediate programmers alike.

Topics:
Recursive Methods
General Form of Simple Recursive Methods
Writing Recursive Methods
Analysis of Recursive Methods
Sorting Algorithms That Use Recursion  
Recursive Helper Methods
Recursion in Two-Dimensional Grids
Lesson 9
Searching and Sorting Algorithms
Understanding Searching and Sorting Algorithms will help the students learn how to best utilize the arrays in their programs. The students will learn the best searching algorithms and when to use them in each situation. They will learn which sorting algorithms to use and how they function. 

Topics:
Sorts: Section and Insertion Sorts
Recursive Sorts: Merge Sort and Quicksort
Sorting Algorithms in Java
Sequential Search
Binary Search
Lesson 10
 More Exam Preparation and Practice Test 2
This class focuses on mastering the challenging free response section of the exam, providing detailed tips, best practices, and test-taking strategies. Students will also complete a comprehensive practice test to assess their understanding and identify areas for improvement based on class discussions.

Topics:
Tips for the Free-Response Section
Practice Test 2 - Free-Response
