AP CSP Create Task Guidelines

Students have_______ to complete this performance Task

• 8 hrs

• 12 hrs

• 1 class period

• unlimited time

Which is NOT a required submission component for this PT?

• A video of your program running

• Individual written responses about your program and development process

• Program code

• Computational Artifact

Students must complete a completed programming project for this PT?

• True

• False

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

• seek guidance from your teacher or AP Coordinator to use and acknowledge APIs or other pieces of open-source code. Program code not written by you can be used in programs as long as you are extending the project in some new way. You should provide acknowledgment and credit from program code you did not write

• seek assistance from your teacher or AP Coordinator in resolving collaboration issues where one partner is clearly and directly impeding the completion of the Create performance task

• as needed, seek assistance from your teacher or AP Coordinator in defining your focus or choice of topics and seeking clarification pertaining to the task

• seek assistance from your teacher or AP Coordinator to resolve technical problems that impede work, such as a failing workstation or difficulty with access to networks, or help with saving files or making movie files;

• all of the above

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

4 hrs of this performance task must be completed

• in class

• at home

• after school or during January Regents Week

• Doesn't matter
