[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP - I have a freshman at TJ too.

The intro to CS class def seems very hands off and taught in a mathematical way.

I my kids did not know a bit of coding ( we learnt on our own - Not Curie!) - he would be struggling.

Even now, he finds the class tough. But at the same time he has mentioned that some kids, with no programming background are breezing through. I think if the kids have strong math aptitude - the teaching method works.

However, Like in college they  should have held TA type sessions where they do some hands on programming, learn syntax etc.

for other classes my kid finds the teachers really “hands on”

good luck![/quote]
Which CS class is taught "in a mathematical way" ?? I'm not aware of any entry level CS class that has a lot of mathematics, unless you're talking about more advanced classes like data structures, algorithms, or discrete math. An intro to CS class is generally mainly about learning the basic syntax of a particular language and using the basics to write small pieces of code.[/quote]
