Welcome to AP Computer Science!!! Since this course is an AP class, it is one weighted credit.
Learning to program can be challenging, sometimes frustrating, but completing programming projects
successfully can be one of the most rewarding experiences you may have as a high school student.
Course Objectives:
Use the Java programming language and other tools to learn about program design and implementation,
input/output, variables, conditional statements, loops, methods, objects, Boolean logic, one and two
dimensional arrays, recursion, inheritance, interfaces, abstract methods and classes, and searching and
sorting methods in computer science. The goals and strategies developed by the College Board are
implemented throughout the course. More information about the course can be found on this link:

2014.pdf
Computer Lab Specifics:
- No gum, food, or drinks allowed in the computer lab. You may drink water that’s in a clear container,
but it must stay at the desks, not by the computers.
- Do not change any properties or tamper with any computer.
- You may not use any software other than what is needed for your assignments. This means NO games,
NO internet (except for research for this class, or coding exercises), NO e-mail, etc. If you finish a lab
exercise early, you can explore another topic (future lab) or help your neighbor.
- Do not give your password to anyone
- Abide by School Computer/Internet Use Policy
Supplies:
- Flash Drive or External Hard Drive to store files, 2 GB or above.
- You will need your textbook, pencil and paper daily
- Most assignments are turned in online
- Recommended but not required:
a.) Be Prepared for the AP Computer Science Exam, by Maria and Gary Litvin, 2014,
Skylight Publishing. http://www.skylit.com/beprepared-java.html
b.) Barron’s AP Computer Science A. http://www.barronseduc.com/1438001525.html
c.) The Java Methods textbook by Maria and Gary Litvin can be checked out from the teacher
and used as an extra resource.
BACKUP your work. Keep a copy of ALL your files on a Flash Drive AND on your PC at home. If you
LOSE your Flash Drive and have NOT backed up your files at home you are still responsible for
completing work.
GRADING POLICY: Grading will follow the Prince William County guidelines for high school instruction.
Although grades will be weighted to show importance, no single grade will count more than 20% of the
marking period grade. A student who fails to complete 60% of the assigned evaluated work will fail for
the marking period. All assignments must be completed neatly in pencil.
Grades are determined by the following:
60% Large Summative Assessments - Tests
20% Small Summative Assessments - Quizzes
17% Formative Assessments – Labs
3% Formative Assessments – Worksheets & Misc. Classwork
LATE POLICY: Students are expected to turn all work in on time. However, if a student turns in an
assignment late, the following will be the maximum grade a student will earn:
1-3 days late….. 75% maximum credit
4-6 days late …. 60% maximum credit
7+ days ………. 50% maximum credit
Students have 7 school days to turn in late work. After 7 days, the teacher has the ability to leave an
NHI in the gradebook. Allowances may be made for excused absences at the teacher’s discretion.
RETAKE POLICY: Students may only retake 5 summative assessments per school year. It is expected that
students take the time to get the necessary help before they take the retake assessment. In order to
retake any summative assessment, the student must satisfactorily complete the alternative assignment
prior to the deadline of when the test shall be taken, set by the teacher. In addition to completing the
alternative assessment, the student must complete and demonstrate mastery for ALL the assigned work
for that unit before being allowed to complete a retake. Unless otherwise indicated, students will have
7 school days after the day of the test to complete the retake. Tests will not be released to students. If
students wish to go over a test, they can come see it and correct it during my office hours or during Flex.
Students are expected to make sure they understand the concepts before taking the retake. The
better grade on the two assessments will be the student’s final grade. A retake is a privilege not a right.
The privilege of a retake will be at the discretion of the teacher. If a student is absent on a test day and
chooses not to take the test the day that he/she comes back to class, the student forfeits his/her right to
take retake that test.
ABSENCES: Students are expected to continue their learning and assignments even when they miss
school. Students should refer to SchoolFusion to get missed work, notes, and resources before
attempting the assignment. When a student is absent, it is expected that he or she will attempt to do
the assignment. If a student is present the day prior to a quiz or test, but absent the day the class takes
the assessment, the student must take the assessment upon return to class.
Remember to make up any missed assignments as soon as possible!
EXPECTATIONS: Active participation in class is an expectation of all students at Patriot High
School. Students are expected to uphold the regulations in the PWCPS Code of
Behavior and the rules and regulations of Patriot High School outlined in the school handbook.
Be respectful towards all people, the classroom, and the school, and have a great year!

AP is college in a high school setting. You won’t just be memorizing facts and figures that you’ll forget moments
after the test. In AP you’ll tackle concepts and do things that will stick with you after the class is through. AP
teachers’ hands-on approach to learning takes you out of the typical classroom and into an experience that will
prepare you for college and beyond…If you are willing to work hard, you’ll find that the qualities you use in other
parts of your life can help you achieve your goals…When you get to college, you’ll be asked to manage your own
time and study habits, while tackling challenging problems and subject areas. This is what you get when you take
an AP class, with the added benefit of your AP teacher helping you throughout the journey. AP courses let you see
and feel what college work is like, while receiving the support to help you get there.
- College Board (http://student.collegeboard.org/)
AP brings the college experience to your high school with the opportunity to earn college credit at thousands of
universities. Please visit the College Board credit search site for specific college and university policies:
https://apstudent.collegeboard.org/creditandplacement/search-credit-policies
Expectations for AP Students at Patriot High School:
1. Assignments will be completed in a timely manner and in their entirety.
2. Students will adequately prepare for all assessments.
3. As a college-level course, this AP class with have a heavier workload and students must adopt adequate
time management strategies.
4. AP requires higher level thinking skills which will be developed in this course. You will be expected to do
more than merely memorize information for the purpose of demonstrating content mastery.
5. Your grade is weighted due to elevated expectations associated with a college-level course. A lower grade
in an AP course may correlate to a higher grade in a standard course.
6. You will take the AP exam in May.
Late Work: Students have 7 school days to turn in late work. Deductions follow the current Patriot late work
policy. After 7 days, the teacher has the ability to leave an NHI in the gradebook. Allowances may be made for
excused absences at the teacher’s discretion.
Retakes: A student may opt to retake summative assessments in AP courses under the following guidelines:
- Students must complete an analysis or alternative assessment on their assessment within 7 school days to be
eligible for a retake.
- A student must not have any NHI’s recorded during the time period over which the test material is taught. Please
be mindful of the 7-day limit on late work submissions.
- If a student is absent on test day, he or she may forfeit his/her right to take the same version of the test as other
students. Teachers may makes allowances for extenuating circumstances.
- If a student is absent on a test day, and chooses not to take the test the day that he/she comes back to class, the
student forfeits his/her right to take retake that test.
- 6 retakes for summative assessments are allowed for the year.
I have read and understand the expectations for Advanced Placement courses at Patriot High School. I understand
that this is a college-level class and I may earn college credit with a qualifying score on the AP Exam, depending on
my chosen college/university’s AP credit policy. Therefore, it is more rigorous than a standard-level course. I also
understand that the pace will be faster and success will require extensive studying, timely completion of
homework and classwork assignments, and adequate preparation for assessments. I know that, in this class, more
information will be taught. As a result, assessments will be more difficult and over more information than a
standard-level course. This is to prepare students for the AP exam in May, which is a requirement for all AP
students.
