The course objectives for AP Computer Science A as described in the AP Computer Science Course Description are included in this course. This course focuses on an object-oriented approach to problem solving using Java. It includes the study of common algorithms and the use of some of Java's built-in classes and interfaces for basic data structures. It is expected that students will have the skills to take the AP Computer Science A Examination at their home schools if they so desire. The students and I will work to assure that every student has an opportunity to achieve a qualifying score on the exam.

AP Computer Science A is a substantial course that requires a meticulous approach from both students and instructor. The limited class time is fully utilized for discussion and activities, labs, quizzes, review, and multiple-choice tests. Outside class reading and homework is critical to students' understanding of the material. Reading and comprehending technical material is a new skill for most students. Students need to learn active reading techniques, including how to take notes.
