Re: Quotes from the Chief Engineer and I
While this is now going off-topic:
Have you learned anything specific to the AP test? I know when I took the test, something like 40% of the questions involved Gridworld. You will need to know more than just syntax for the test. |

Re: Quotes from the Chief Engineer and I
We learned that strings are immutable. That's about it. The one thing I know is that iterators are a big part of the test, but we're still stuck on our 9th program on arrays.

While students can't access the practice exams, your teacher can sign-in and access them. Those might be a good indicator of how much more you should be doing. |

Re: Quotes from the Chief Engineer and I
Alright, here's a question for you guys: Would you rather have a teacher who has some past experience in Computer Science but teaches it badly and sometimes incorrectly, or a teacher who has very little CS experience, but is willing to learn how to teach the class and would accept student input?

Particularly I find being extremely critical either way is often counter to the goal. Sometimes one can get more from the act of discussion than the act of critique. Especially if it crosses into the confrontational. Once it becomes confrontational the opportunity for either participant to learn is lost in playing defense. |

Re: Quotes from the Chief Engineer and I
For me, I guess it depends on how long it takes to build momentum after the change.

Re: Quotes from the Chief Engineer and I
This would be a new school year. I think I may tell my principle that a class like that would be better. Kids may understand it better if they're helping each other rather than a teacher who teaches it wrong. I think there may definitely be some problems, but only 10 kids will be there next year so taking their time is an option.
