YR
Course Name: AP Computer Science A
Credit: 1
Grade Placement: 11, 12
Required Prerequisite(s): Algebra I or a student should be comfortable with functions and the concepts found in the uses of functional notation such as f(x) = x + 2 and f(x) = g(h(x)).
What's Next: NONE
This course serves as an introduction to computers and the study of managing and processing information. Students apply algebraic and logical reasoning acquired in mathematics to develop robust programming solutions. The emphasis is on solving real world problems by means of computer programming (software engineering). Students will thoroughly learn the Java programming language and apply those skills in exploring how computers work.Some topics covered include object–oriented techniques, file management, data structures, classes, objects, graphics, debugging, hardware components, and social implications. This course prepares students to take the Advanced Placement Computer Science A exam to possibly earn college credit. Successful completion of both semesters of this course will satisfy a mathematics credit in the student’s graduation plan if a 4th math credit is needed.

Credit: 1
Grade Placement: 11, 12
Required Prerequisite(s): Algebra I, Geometry (Recommended)
What's Next: AP Precalculus
In this dual enrollment course, students will deepen their critical thinking skills and develop their ability to persist through challenges as they explore function families: linear, absolute value, quadratic, polynomial, radical, rational, exponential, and logarithmic. OnRamps dual enrollment courses meet for one class period five days a week, and students have the option at the conclusion of the course to accept or decline college credit from UT Austin.This course has an enrollment fee due during the fall semester and consists of assessments graded by a UT professor. College credit granted for MATH 1314 (3 credit hours). Students taking Dual Credit Statistics or Precalculus after OnRamps Algebra are advised that these courses include MATH 1314; taking MATH 1314 in both courses could result in a change on your college transcript.If a student takes OnRamps Algebra II and accepts the UT Austin college credit for Math 1314, the student will need to determine if they want to take the college course Math 1314 as a part of Precalculus or Statistics Dual Credit. Taking Math 1314 in both OnRamps and Dual Credit courses could result in a grade change on your college transcript.
