    Course Format and Procedures

    This course is divided into five different modules, each covering a different foundational topic within the study of computer science. Each module will have a variety of readings and activities that you will complete both individually and with partners. There will be one major project in each module that will be based around a Project-Based Learning model. You will be expected to submit a project at the end of each module.

    In regards to the course projects, teamwork and collaboration are important within the framework of Project-Based Learning. Your high school instructor will be conferencing with you at least once a week to chart your progress, help to assess your work, and to give you suggestions and guidance for how to continue onwards towards a final product. Additionally, your high school instructor will be running a series of workshops that highlight important skills that you will need to master in order to be successful with your project.
