+CTE- INTRO TO PROGRAMMING MOBILE APPS-P
Introduction to Computer Science: Mobile Apps Development
Grades 9-12
A one-year course in
which students use the programming language App Inventor to build apps to use
on Android mobile devices. Students build increasingly complicated apps
utilizing many of the features that mobile devices offer including, but not
limited to: location sensor, orientation sensor, accelerometer, proximity
sensor, text to speech and speech to text, camera, sound recorder, texting,
clock, video player and so on. All work is submitted via the student’s personal
website, so students become conversant with Google sites as well.
+ CTE- ADVANCED COMPUTER SCIENCE STRUCTURE &
INTERPRETATION-P
Computer Science: The Structure and
Interpretation of Computer Programs
Prerequisite: Algebra 1 Grades 9-12
An honors-level course that introduces students to Computer Science through the
popular Python programming language. Students will become familiar with basic
coding structures such as loops and conditional decisions, learn basic
algorithms, and interpret written problems with code. There’s an emphasis on different
applications of computer science, including art, music and big data. This
course is excellent preparation for the AP Computer Science A class.
+AP COMPUTER SCIENCE A-HP
AP Computer Science A: Java
Prerequisites: Algebra II and CS
Structure or Honors level math (Passed
Algebra II Honors or higher). Strongly recommended that students take the
Python course, CS Structure, before taking this course.
Grades 11, 12
A one-year
college-level course that prepares students for the national AP Computer Science
A exam (the long-standing exam first offered in 1984). Students will develop
computational programming skills in the Java language. Major topics include:
(I) Object-Oriented Program Design; (II) Program Implementation; (III) Program
Analysis; (IV) Standard Data Structures; (V) Standard Operations and
Algorithms; and (VI) Computing in Context.
COMPUTER ARCHITECTURE AND ASSEMBLY LANGUAGE-HP
Computer Science: Computer Architecture and Assembly
Language
Prerequisites: AP
Computer Science A or passing grade on AP Exam
Grades 11, 12
A
one-year college-level course examining the internal organization and operation
of digital computers. Topics include: Machine architecture, support for
high-level languages (logic, arithmetic, instruction sequencing) and operating
systems (I/O, interrupts, memory management, process switching); Elements of
computer logic design; Trade-offs involved in fundamental architectural design
decisions. The primary programming languages used are C and MIPS Assembly.
P: This course meets
the UC a-g (“g” college-preparatory elective) requirement.
