Computer Science II AP

Title: Computer Science 2 – AP 2 semesters
Prerequisite: Algebra II, Computer Science I, and teacher approval

This course has four main goals: develop advanced software engineering skills in the Java programming language; teach advanced data structures such as linked lists, trees, classes, and data files; expose students to the development and analysis of classic computer algorithms such as sorting, searching, recursion, and numerical analysis; recognize the ethical and social implications of computer use. This course represents college level achievement in computer science for which most colleges will grant up to six hours of credit. Students will develop major software projects over topics such as databases, sorting, business applications, and graphics. This course prepares the student to take the Advanced Placement exam.

The IB course contains additional topics to prepare students for the IB exam.
