AP Computer Science is a one year course in Java which leads students to taking the Advanced Placement Exam in Computer Science in May. This course contains material for both the A and AB courses and students choose (with advice from the instructor) the route they wish to pursue.
Assignments from this course may include but are not limited to program assignments, reading assignments designed to broaden the student's understanding of computer science, participation in classroom discussions both in person and asynchronously through the class forums (which can be accessed from the computer lab at school or at home), and various homework assignments. Assessments in the form of tests can be expected at intervals and will be announced with review sheets provided.
A topic outline can be found which details the chapters to be covered by this course during each of the four academic quarters of the year.

JCreator - a free IDE (download the LE version) that we will be using in class in addition to bluej.
BlueJ - IDE for running some of the projects we do. A great IDE for mapping out object relationships and can be used to do some basic project design.
