Course Description
“From AP CS to Caltech CS”, is an asynchronous, virtual set of projects designed to help a student who has prior Java programming experience fill any gaps before taking the Caltech CS Placement test. While there are no office hours for this course, course staff will grade everything you turn in and provide feedback in the style of how the placement test will be graded. Students are welcome to take this course without prior Java experience, but they will need to teach themselves Java to complete it. The projects can be completed any time between July 15 and August 9.
