Series Details

About

This will be a full crash course in the fundamentals of computer science through the Java language. No prior coding experience is required, although it is recommended that you have completed Algebra 1 level math. Each session will introduce a topic, have practice with that topic along with any questions, and then have a project to do on your own time that will help solidify that knowledge. The projects are not required, although they are fun and as stated before help solidify your knowledge. Session 1: Introductions, basics of computer science, and setting up Eclipse IDE Session 2 - 3: Variables Session 4 - 5: Operators & Methods Session 6 - 7: Strings Session 8: If/Else/Else-if statements Session 9 - 10: For/While/Do-While Loops Session 11 - 12: Arrays and Lists Session 13-14: Class Design Session 15: Wrap-Up

Tutor Qualifications

Took AP Computer Science Principles and got a 5 on the test. Currently taking AP Computer Science A with a 97% average. Have been coding on and off since 3rd grade.

✋ ATTENDANCE POLICY

Attendance is mandatory. Each topic will build off of the previous, and if you do not attend a lesson, you will be very lost on what is happening. You will be withdrawn from the series if you have more than 2 unexcused absences in a row. Please message me in advance for any absences.
