What is Computer Science 2?
This course picks up where CS1 leaves off. We start with an OOP review and move through all Java Collections. This course will cover all of the AP AB CS material. At the end of this course, the students are very well prepared for the AP AB exam. The topic list below shows the order in which I cover the topics in AP2.
