For AP CSP, the class is basically up to you. Mr. Crow will teach you a topic, then have you apply it with a set of lessons on Code. org. You can move as slow or fast as you want, If you ever need help he is ALWAYS there to help, which is why he is my favorite teacher throughout high school. The PLTW Intro to programming class is pretty much the same. For AP CSA, be prepared for it to be a lot harder than the other two courses. He will probably have you open a couple of JAVA files with all your notes and examples on it, which I HIGHLY recommend. Those notes really helped me succeed.

I have taken 4 classes from Mr. Crow: the intro class, AP CSP, AP CSA, and Cybersecurity. I looked forward to all of these classes. They are really what you make of them, but if you ever have problems or confusions, write those questions down and call him over to help you out. He has class time almost every day for him to just walk around and help anyone if they need it.
