Course Description

Computer Programming 3 593 2 Credits

PREREQUISITE: MINIMUM OF B IN COMPUTER PROGRAMMING 2 (OR PERMISSION OF INSTRUCTOR)

This course introduces students to the object-oriented paradigm of computer science.  All coding will be done in Java, which is now the language used in the Advanced Placement curriculum.  Learning Java is a challenge, as it requires a significant amount of abstract thinking.  Topics include: variables, operators, control flow, arrays, methods and classes.  Students will apply these concepts as they work on a team programming project. They will also have the opportunity to use Java to program a robot.
