AP COMPUTER SCIENCE A

Course ID: 3185

Credit(s): 1W

Grade level(s): 10-12

Prerequisite(s): Pre-AP Computer Programming or permission of instructor

The major emphasis is on programming methodology, algorithms, and data structures. Applications of computing provide the context in which these subjects are treated. Applications are used to develop student awareness of the need for particular algorithms and data structures, as well as to provide topics for programming assignments to which students can apply their knowledge. A particular programming language constitutes the vehicle for implementing computer-based solutions to particular problems. Treatments of computer systems and the social implications of computing are integrated into the course and not isolated as separate units. School(s) offering course: All HS
