Computer Science

Prerequisite: Algebra I
Full year, 1 credit
Designed to help students experience sound techniques of problem-solving through the use of the computer, this course is an introduction to programming in True Basic. Computer Science is a heavily lab-oriented, hands-on class where students are encouraged to develop their own problem-solving strategies. Students confront practical, every-day situations involving business, science, mathematics, manufacturing, construction, etc. and must design software to provide a logical method of using the computer as a problem-solving tool. Constructing software that is both user-friendly and well-documented is stressed.

Advanced Computer Science

Prerequisite: Algebra I
Full year, 1 credit
This course is designed to teach students how to write logically structured, well-documented computer programs using a structured programming language. This course will strengthen students problem solving abilities. Students have the option of taking the Advanced Placement computer science examination to earn college course credits.
