Evaluation

The concepts taught in this book are the same concepts which have been taught for many years in Computer Science. Overall the book's material aligns well with the Utah Strands and Standards for Computer Programming 1, 2, and Advanced Programming. The publisher of the book has included many resources to help students and teachers succeed teaching the material supporting the Utah Strands and Standards. The scaffolding is complex, engaging, and provides students with real world exercises in both formative and summative assessments. Teachers have the flexibility to pick and choose what they want to leverage in the classroom in a hard copy or online format.
