AP CSP Create Performance Task

Students have____hours in class to complete Create Performance Task.

• 8 hrs

• 12 hrs

• 1 class period

• unlimited time

Which is NOT a required submission component for Create PT?

• A video of your program running

• Individual written responses about your program and development process

• Program code

• Computational Artifact

Students must complete written responses independently.

• True

• False

Student programming projects should include the following:

• use of several effectively integrated mathematical and logical concepts, from the language you are using;

• implementation of an algorithm that integrates two or more algorithms and integrates mathematical and/or logical concepts; and

• development and use of abstractions to manage the complexity of your program (e.g., procedures, abstractions provided by the programming language, APIs).

• All of the above

Students are allowed to collaborate with ________ for the programming project of this PT.

• the teacher

• one partner

• multiple partners

• no one

The algorithms in the programming code needs an _______ placed around it, while the abstraction code needs a _________ placed around it.

• oval; rectangle

• rectangle; oval

• oval; square

• triangle; rectangle

Students CAN'T

• collaborate on the video or any of the written responses

• submit work that has been revised, amended, or correct by another individual, with the exception of cited program code

• submit work from a practice performance task as your official submission to the College Board to be scored by the AP Program

• seek assistance or feedback on answers to prompts

• all of the above

Which of these do you NOT need to submit for your Create PT?

• PDF of your code

• link to your code.org program

• written responses

• video showing a key feature of your program

What is an abstraction?

• Something that makes your code easier to read

• Series of steps to accomplish a task

• Hides complexity (ex. function that is called several times)

• Mathematical or logical concept

What does incremental mean?

• Repeating the steps over and over again

• Creating a smaller part of your program before expanding it

• Something very important

• Problem solving
