We are starting on your College Board AP Computer Science – Principles artifacts. Code Studio has this all very nicely broken down for us, so do not worry!

We made our accounts with the College Board back in November We made our accounts with the College Board back in November. Two of you need to make your account, so we will get that set up. And yes, submitting work to the College Board is a requirement for this class!

Everything will be submitted on March 9, 2018 This is the week before the final exam and the 2nd trimester ends.

We have 8 days to do the first part, and 12 days to do the second part, so we have 20 school days to accomplish all of this.

You have the green folder to keep everything together for this project You have the green folder to keep everything together for this project. These are extremely useful documents that will help you stay on the right track with your project.

Here we go!

This lesson contains a series of activities to familiarize yourself with the Explore Performance Task, how it is scored, and some example tasks provided by the College Board.

DO NOT COPY THIS STUFF FOR YOUR PROJECTS – that is plagiarism DO NOT COPY THIS STUFF FOR YOUR PROJECTS – that is plagiarism. Remember that the College Board has access to Code Studio, and they will be very familiar with the materials in it. SO – DO NOT COPY!!!

Most the exemplar task, scores, and commentary on scoring shared in this lesson come directly from the College Board. Code.org's commentary is noted where applicable. SO DO NOT COPY!! CITE SOURCES!

Today we're going to start looking more deeply at the Explore PT, focusing specifically on understanding: The different components of the Explore PT How the task will be scored

Don't worry, you already have much of the knowledge and skills you need to do well on this task. The hardest part might be just understanding what is required of you, which is why we are talking about it.

Look at  AP CSP Performance Task Directions for Students - College Board Student Handout (#1) and Explore Performance Task: 2018 Scoring Guidelines and Notes (#2)

Read (1) the "Submission Requirements" section on pages 5-6, and (2) the scoring guidelines on the Scoring Guide. For the scoring guidelines you can focus only on the first 3 columns for now: "Reporting Category", "Task", "Scoring Criteria". We'll dive into the decision rules later. Just get familiar with these documents.

Let’s talk about: What will you actually be turning in to the College Board? What are you hoping will become more clear after looking at example projects?

Hopefully in your reading you concluded that for the Explore PT you'll need to submit about a computing innovation you chose to research: A computational artifact (though you may be wondering what this means) A few written responses Citations to sources for these two items

You should also have noticed: The Scoring Guidelines provide specific guidance on how each part of the task will be graded The Scoring Guidelines: contains 8 rows, each worth 1 point sometimes several rows apply to one written response to pick out specific aspects

let's look at some examples first.

The student samples used in this activity come directly from the AP Central website which shows in separate documents: student samples, scoring guidelines, and scoring notes.

 Look at copies of Explore Sample C (links available on student page for this lesson). Explore - Computational Artifact: Sample C (#3) Explore - Written Responses: Sample C (#4)

This is a raw student submission - exactly what the student uploaded for their computational artifact and written responses. Read through it.

Did anything surprise you in looking at this exemplar Did anything surprise you in looking at this exemplar? Do you think this scored well based on what you know about the scoring guidelines?

This sample actually received a perfect 8/8 score This sample actually received a perfect 8/8 score. Let's look at the student response side-by-side with the scoring guidelines and the actual AP scorer's notes to see why.

Look at the annotated Sample C document (#5)

What characteristics of this response made it score well? Look over this annotated version of the sample to see how each row of the scoring guidelines was applied. How does scorer differentiate between a harmful effect and a data security concern? What characteristics of this response made it score well? What questions do you still have about the Scoring Guidelines or Task description?

Goal: You should understand from this example that the Scoring Guidelines are in many ways as important as the task description. The responses in this exemplar not only match the task description but address the particular "gotchas" of the scoring guidelines.

Difference between "harmful effect" and "data security concern" as called out in the scorer's notes, a "harmful effect" is one that comes from using the innovation as intended, which in this case is the result of overuse (or over- reliance) on GPS. A good way to think of "harmful effect" is the unintended consequences of using the innovation as designed, which this response does. A data security concern often comes from misuse of the innovation, or using it in a way that was not originally intended. The effects or risks from spying, hacking, or even accidental exposure of sensitive information or invasions of privacy are common things listed here.

Let’s look at a couple of not perfectg Samples D and E (student links on code studio) CB Explore PT - Sample D (5/8) - Annotated PT Sample (#6) CB Explore PT - Sample E (2/8) - Annotated PT Sample (#7)

Here are some of the ways the samples fall short.

Sample D failed to make a few small connections the harmful effect didn't come from intended use, and wasn't specific enough on who the harm would come to.

Sample E: fails to identify a computing innovation - this fact alone was the source of many lost points, even though the sample itself comes close in many ways. failed to list citations inline.

This lesson is in Code Studio as well.

Tomorrow's lesson will focus on how to pick a strong computing innovation. We will also discuss tips to avoid getting tripped up as you respond to the prompts
