AP CS A Course Updates
9/5/2017
Welcome Students!
Welcome to class. Be sure to download and print out the syllabus for you schedule. Assignments are due every Wednesday at Midnight. Please work daily. Late penalties accrue for 3 school days at a rate of 10% per school day. Please call, text, or email when you have questions!
Dr Java
Downloading Dr. Java can be tricky! Check out the video in the bar below for help. If your school does not allow downloads of this type, try downloading the program to a flash drive and simply running it from your flash drive when you are at school!
Office Hours
Take advantage of AP CS group office hours. The schedule with links can be found by clicking the bar below. The schedule is also available at the bottom of the news items on the course homepage. If you can't attend the live session, please email me questions and then view the recording. You may also find historical recordings to be helpful. These can be found in the "links" widget in BrightSpace.
Progress Reports
This week's progress report grade reflects all work turned in by 8/20/2017. Late work will not be reflected in the grade you see. Progress reports are issued every other week. If your child's grade drops below a 70, you will receive additional notification.
Check User Links for Help
Be sure to check out the user links widget in the Brightspace home page. This widget houses links to the weekly class chat recordings as well as additional help videos for certain assignments. If you are on a shortened session, check out the historical recordings for help on topics and assignments!
