Description
Curriculum
There is no textbook for this class. For our curriculum, we will be using resources from the Code.org website. All students will be expected to have an account on this website as well as use it regularly for various activities, reflections, assessments, etc.
Homework/Make Up Work
Homework will be assigned to students whenever work outside of the classroom is required to accomplish the education goals of the course. Also because this is only the second year I have ever taught this course, it is hard to predict right now which units of study will have more homework than others. Because this is a AP Level course, students in this class are expected to complete all homework assignments and to keep up with the course work, projects, and study materials that go into this course.
With regards to make up work, there will be opportunities after school to come in and work on it (students should check with me first before assuming I will be in my room on any given day after school). There will also be some Saturdays you can come in as well (to be announced).
