2 Computer Science IV COURSE DESCRIPTION Concentration: Object Oriented Programming Web Design and Computer Science IV is a full year course for students continuing in the Academy of Information Technology. The AOIT set of courses is designed to introduce, develop and reinforce the essential skills in Information Technology that are vital for success in today s world. The main aspect of this fourth year course is to provide an introduction to the theory and practice of computer programming. This is achieved by using C++ and Alice. C++ First half of this course will introduce the student to the object-oriented programming paradigm using C++ language. Concepts such as variables, control structures, functions, one and two dimensional arrays, pointers and code reusability will be studied. Hands-on laboratory work will be done to solidify each concept. Alice Second half is an introductory course for learning to program using animation. Students create animation projects using Alice, a software package for creating animation in small virtual worlds using 3-dimensional models. Although designed for the novice programmer, the course may also be taken by more advanced students. Presentations Professional presentations will be an integral part of this course. Every month there will be project presentations that will help students in their communication skills. Students will be encouraged to use variety of tools like Audacity, Movie maker, Animation maker, Power point etc. Time Frame: 1 year Suggested Grade Level: Grade 12 Prerequisite: Successful completion of Computer Science III
