The course covers a broad range of foundational topics such as programming, algorithms, the internet, big data, digital privacy and security, and the societal impacts of computing.  \nComputing affects almost all aspects of modern life, and all students deserve an education that prepares them to pursue the wide array of intellectual and career opportunities that computing has made possible. This course seeks to provide foundational knowledge and skills to meaningfully participate in our increasingly digital society, economy, and culture.  \nREQUIRED TEXTS AND RESOURCES:  \n● [Code.org-Students will be](Code.org-Students will be) use code. org to access course content and practice assignments. Teacher will provide specific class code.  \n● Google Classroom-Students will use Google classroom to access course content and receive reminders. Teacher will provide specific class code.  \n● AP Classroom -Students will the AP Classroom to practice AP-style multiple choice questions. Teacher will provide specific class code.  \nATTENDANCE AND PUNCTUALITY: Students should arrive to class on time. On time means you are in the classroom when the bell rings. Once the bell rings, students should be setting up computers and ready for instructions. Any student arriving after the bell will be marked tardy.  \nCELL PHONES, COMPUTERS, AND OTHER ELECTRONIC DEVICES: Students are expected to use their phones and electronic devices only at appropriate times and for appropriate usage.

Assignments that are less than half finished do not meet the basic requirements and will receive a 0%. An honest attempt means the assignment was started and the work the student has produced shows evidence of making progress on the relevant standard(s) that are being assessed regardless of product or accuracy.  \nASSIGNMENT SUBMISSION: Assignments are submitted electronically through MyMCPS Classroom. Student progress is monitored and recorded via MyMCPS Classroom and code. org online platforms. All electronic progress and submissions are timestamped. Due date times are 11:59pm on the due date unless another time is specified. Students must press submit/turn-in for an assignment to be officially submitted.  \nLATE WORK:  \n● A due date is the date students are expected to submit an assignment. Any assignment turned in after the due date is considered late.  \n● A deadline is the last date a teacher will accept an assignment. An assignment not turned in or turned in after the deadline date will not earn credit (0%) .  \n● Unless otherwise specified, homework deadlines are the same as the due date, and the deadline for other graded assignments are two school days after the due date.  \n● Students who have excused absences have the same number of days as they were absent to make up missed assignments.  \n● All make-up work for each Unit ( retakes and make-up quizzes/tests) are to be completed by the end of the Unit.  \nRESUBMI","cbCaioBUPlTzHYCT","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaioBUPlTzHYCT","pdf",128350,"English","# Course Description\n## Required Texts and Resources\n## Classroom Expectations (Attendance, Devices, Food)\n## Grading and Submission Policies\n## Late Work, Resubmissions, Reassessments\n## Academic Offenses and Cheating Procedures\n## Accommodations and AP Exam Structure","[{\"question\":\"What topics are covered in AP Computer Science Principles?\",\"answer\":\"The course introduces programming, algorithms, the internet, big data, digital privacy and security, and the societal impacts of computing.\"},{\"question\":\"How do students submit assignments and track progress?\",\"answer\":\"Assignments are submitted electronically through MyMCPS Classroom, and progress is monitored and recorded via MyMCPS Classroom and Code.org online platforms.
