So far in AP Computer Science, I have had a lot of problems becoming acclimated to the protocol and using Java. I can sort of see how and why we are supposed to do certain things, but it's quite difficult to wrap my mind around. It's not easy for me to just accept instruction, "because it's just right". I need to come across the understanding on my own before I'm fully able to own the knowledge. It'll be a slow process at first, but I'm hoping once I get the basics down, I will be good.
I also do not learn well from powerpoints that are no split up and let us explore on our own. If I learn too many things in one sitting, I tend to forget almost everything, even if I take notes. So I would suggest that we take the powerpoints step by step and leave time in between new concepts to explore the programs we are learning about.
I have really enjoyed the help I've gotten from my classmates who are mostly all familiar with programming. They have all been extremely helpful and I am really thankful for that. There's definitely a learning curve and I can tell most kids in the class are fairly bored already while all of the new kids are being brought up to speed.
I'm excited about the challenge that I've taken on and the AP Computer Science journey that I'm about to embark on.
Stay tuned for more.
