Series Details

About

WHAT: This course will give you a solid foundation in java programming. This course will cover programming concepts from if statements and loops to algorithms and complexity analysis.
WHEN: Every Sunday, Tuesday, and Friday for 3 weeks. We probably won't use all 2 hours each time, and time may vary based on how quickly we cover content.
RESOURCES: We will use a free online textbook and follow the AP Computer Science Curriculum.
Every session will include:
- A review of the previous session's practice problems
- A presentation
- Walkthroughs of coding problems designed to illustrate specific concepts
- Practice coding problems that learners can work through in their own time
Learners can download all resources through links sent in the meeting chat.
WHO: This course is designed for beginners with no prior coding experience or those looking to brush up on their fundamentals. This is a rigorous course. Classes are fast-paced, and students may have to review concepts by reading the textbook in their own time.

Tutor Qualifications

I have taken AP Computer Science A and Fundamentals of Computer Programming. I also have experience in coding projects outside of school.

✋ ATTENDANCE POLICY

You will be withdrawn from the series if you have more than 2 unexcused absences in a row. Please message the tutor in advance for any absences! This course covers material very quickly, so be sure to read the textbook if you do not show up to a session.

About the Tutor

Hello! My name is Jason, and I'm a Junior. I'll be tutoring in SAT math and reading, and hopefully more subjects in the future. I am excited to meet my students, and I hope you can learn a lot from my sessions! I have taken math up to linear algebra and differential equations. I have also earned a 5 on the AP calc BC exam.

Mon Jun 6, 2022, 12:00 AM

CLASS INTRODUCTION AND A BRIEF HISTORY OF PROGRAMMING
(We will likely end earlier than the posted class duration - this is a short session)
I will introduce the course and provide a course syllabus covering all the topics we will learn about. I will then present a brief history of programming and we will watch a short video. After, I will guide you through Java I/O and provide a programming exercise to work on alone. We will review the answers in the next class.
