[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How about ADSA course? Heard it is very challenging? Teacher is tough.[/quote]

Would like to hear more about it? Do kids have to self-study? What's so hard about it? Is there a textbook? Has anyone found a way to make this work for them? My kid will likely be taking this next semester.[/quote]

Also curious about the algorithms and data structures class since DC will be taking it soon.[/quote]

Can you explain why taking it next semester? I thought all magnet students took it throughout 10th grade, not half way through 9th or another grade.[/quote]

Magnet kids can take an exam around the winter break to skip the 2nd semester of the first year CS class and begin the magnet equivalent of AP CS A a semester early. Kids that have had previous programming experience like the ones from TPMS, often do this but it's not necessary and not for everyone.[/quote]

How do you learn about this? This hasn’t been shared with current students, and how do the PPs know that their kid is doing it if the test hasn’t happened yet?[/quote]

This was shared at the information session, and many students heard this from older students.[/quote]
