This assignment will teach about the create task
Before you start, make sure you are signed in:
- You must be signed into WayGround.
- You will take the Wayground inside your google classroom. Not in my web site.
- Review notes first: Create task notes (click here)
- Complete the WayGround quiz: Click here.
- You have unlimited tries.
Grading Rules (Read Carefully):
- You must score a 100 to receive a 100. Anything lower will result in a zero.
- I will deduct points from your 100 for any errors found in my version of the WayGround quiz.
- Use your full name to receive credit.
- Stay signed into WayGround so your progress saves.
Allowed Resources:
- No calculators.
- You may only use pencil and paper.
Submission Instructions:
- Your file name will be PX_CreateQuiz_lastname.
- Screen print your program: PX_CreateQuiz_lastname.png
- Video tape your running to verify that is works: PX_CreateQuiz_lastname.mp4
- Save your work
- Turn it in on Google Classroom.
Reminder: All tasks must be completed by the due date. Late submissions will receive point deductions.
Task 3: AP CSP Create Task Scoring Language (What You Must Be Able to Show)
On the AP CSP Create Task, you are scored on whether your program and your written responses clearly demonstrate specific
programming concepts. This practice is designed to build those exact skills.
1) Program Purpose and Function
- You can clearly state what your program is intended to do (the purpose).
- You can explain what the user does (the input) and what the program does in response (the output).
- Your program has a meaningful goal (not just random commands).
2) Data / Variables
- Your program uses at least one variable to store data.
- You can explain how the variable’s value changes and why it matters to the program’s behavior.
3) Algorithm (Sequencing, Selection, Iteration)
- Sequencing: Steps happen in a specific order.
- Selection: Your program uses a decision like
if / else.
- Iteration: Your program repeats something using a loop (for example:
for or while).
- You can identify and describe an algorithm in your code that includes these parts.
4) Abstraction (A Student-Developed Procedure)
- You create a procedure (a function you wrote) with a clear name and purpose.
- Your procedure is used in your program (it gets called).
- Optional but strong: Your procedure uses one or more parameters to make it more flexible.
- You can explain how your procedure helps manage complexity (it makes your code easier to reuse or understand).
5) Testing (Proving Your Code Works)
- You can describe at least two test cases:
- What input you tried
- What output you expected
- What output actually happened
- Your test cases show that your code works in more than one situation.
Reminder: In the official Create Task, you must be able to explain your program clearly.
That means: purpose, how it works, and evidence of algorithm + abstraction + testing.
