[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And AP Computer Science Principles is a pre-req for AP Computer Science (JAVA)[/quote]

Not at WJ it isn't:

The only prerequisite to AP CS (Java) is Computer Programming 1.[/quote]

My kid went into AP CS with no prerequisites. [/quote]

At WJ? That's not how it's supposed to go, but whatever.

DS, a WJ senior, did the CS tech credit over the summer. A complete joke, but at least it was easy and didn't drag it out for a year, which would have taken up a space he needed for other classes. He took Computer Programming last year and is taking AP Computer Science -- Java this year. As I understand it, AP Computer Science -- Java is the better course to take over Principles for kids really interested in going into CS, engineering, etc. DS didn't think it was worth the space to take Principles in lieu of another challenging class.[/quote]
