daijobu Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Looking to next year for AP Computer Science A. I'm thinking about the PA Homeschoolers class taught by Cynthia Lang or the Edhesive class taught by Mrs. Dovi? Pros? Cons? Any other online vendors? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momto6inIN Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 If you are OK with self-study instead of an official AP course, my DS did well on the exam using just Teen Coder and a test prep book. It's lots cheaper! :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freesia Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Ds used Edhesive this year and it went well. He loved the class. He was able to get lots of support when he got stuck on the assignments. We don't have his scores yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilaclady Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 The edhesive class last year was free. You can pay for additional coaching but was not required. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
................... Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 My son is signed up for AP COmp Sci with CYntha Lang, because we heard such great things about her. He had an email exchange with her that also gave us a very favorable impression. We are hopeful! (however my son already can pass the practice test in the book because programming is his hobby, so we didn't take much time to worry about how much support is given in the class...) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoodGrief Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 My daughter did the PA Homeschoolers class this year. She had no comp sci experience going in, and enjoyed the class. She got a 5 on the exam. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnMyOwn Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 We are planning on trying the Edhesive class because I've had a couple of people recommend it to me and the cost is so reasonable. I also love the self-paced aspect because it gives my dd some flexibility with her time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
