Learning Goals

Here are the learning goals for Grade 11 Introduction to Computer Science (ICS3Ue, pre-AP).

For all learning goals, we will engage in further discussion.

Exemplars of suitable evidence for each learning goal will be shared as the course unfolds.

2

I can use source control to organize and describe improvements made in my projects.
Ontario: A4 / AP CSP: 6

3

I understand data types (including simple types and collection types) and know when to use them as variables or constants in my programs.
Ontario: A1 / AP CSP: 3

4

I can design and implement algorithms using control structures to obtain desired results in my programs.
Ontario: A2, B3 / AP CSP: 2
