Computer Science 3 (JAVA) After the first year of JAVA (CS1, CS2) the student should be prepared to take the AP Computer Science test. It is hoped that students will attempt the AP CS test in the spring. The language used will be Sun's JAVA and Microsoft's J#.
Students are expected to be independent learners and hard workers. Grades will be based approximately 50% on tests, 30% on programs, 10% homework, 10% participation. Students should obtain a study guide to prepare them for the AP test from local bookstores or Amazon.com. Good luck.
