Grade
Level: 11, 12
Prerequisite: Successful completion of Algebra II and
concurrent enrollment in a math course above Algebra II
Students will learn
the fundamentals of structured programming with an emphasis on Object Oriented
Design. The language used will be JAVA. Successful completion of the course is
comparable to an introductory Computer Science course at a major university or
college. Students will be prepared to
take the AP Computer Science A test. Some lab time will be allowed but much of the
lab work will be done outside of the normal class schedule. A personal
computer capable of operating JAVA is strongly suggested. Note: This course counts as one credit of computer
technology for Oklahoma’s Promise.
