Welcome to computer science at McNeil HS. This year, students enrolled in our AP-Computer Science Principles course will be learning programming (Python emphasis), computational thinking, and algorithmic problem solving.
Computer Science Discoveries (CS Discoveries) is an introductory computer science course that empowers students to create authentic artifacts and engage with computer science as a medium for creativity, communication, problem solving, and fun.
Formative 60%: General activities, professional responsibilities, participation, overview sessions, project contributions, and unit reviews.
These activities occur within the classroom and are often subject to student presence. Kahoot content reviews (Quick Looks within the gradebook) are such an example as well as Weekly Performance. Assignments and activities in this category also include those items that introduce and practice content for a given unit.
Summative Assessments 40%: Tests, mastery projects, and primary components of the EOY Create Performance Task.
Formative work must be submitted by IPR interval for full credit.
Summative work has five days after the posted grade to submit corrections/retakes.
Tutorials are available before school in E102 by appointment.
