<p>Seems like not a lot of people take this class. Anyone else here taking it/taken it already?</p>
<p>What are you up to in your curriculum right now?</p>
<p>We are currently doing arrays with classes. Behind or no?</p>
<p>I’m taking it, but I honestly think the curriculum at my school is terribly unorganized and not very thorough. I can’t tell what we’re supposed to be doing. We’re not really following any textbook; we have one, but never use it.</p>
<p>In January we finished up polymorphism and quickly covered recursion. Since then we’ve been working on the GridWorld case study.</p>
<p>Yep, we’re also in arrays, searching and ordering</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Good to hear that someone else is in the same spot. Just wrote a program today that uses a linear search today actually.</p>
<p>Any tips on how to work on Computer Science A?</p>
<p>we’re jumping around but doing arraylists right now…</p>
<p>by the way, since they no longer offer the AB exam, anyone know how colleges that used to say they only accept AB credit will handle giving credit for the A exam</p>
<p>Anyone else?</p>
<p>Hmm, we did arrays and ArrayLists a while ago. Same thing for sorting/searching.
We finished up inheritance, interfaces, and polymorphism more recently. </p>
<p>We’re currently doing recursion.</p>
<p>Yeah, we finished arrays, arraylists, interfaces, inheritance, polymorphism, and some more stuff, as well as the GridWorld CaseStudy. We started recursion about 3 days ago.</p>
<p>When do you think is a good time to start the casestudy?</p>
<p>^We haven’t started it yet. As seen on this thread, APCS doesn’t have as “set” an order as some other AP classes; the teacher can choose which topics to do in what order. We haven’t started the Case Study yet, and my school has had great success on the AP for years - last year was all 5s except for one 4.</p>
<p>Bumping this up.</p>
<p>I’m doing a self-paced course, but the recommended schedule has me just starting GridWorld (our last unit) at the beginning of this month.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>IMHO you are behind.</p>
<p>My online class ([AP</a> Computer Science Online Course](<a href=“http://course.hscompsci.com/]AP”>http://course.hscompsci.com/)) is doing the GridWorld case study. Basically I do about five weeks of that and then two weeks general review before the test.</p>
<p>The GridWorld is a culmination of everything on the A test, and in itself is a pretty good review.</p>
<p>We just finished going over GridWorld and now we’re doing a bunch of review.</p>
<p>Lucky you guys, we’re still about to start arrays… But I’m almost done self-studying the whole thing, so I just take class as some form of revision.</p>
