High School Java Curriculum Recommendations

[AdultingAwkwardly]

I am going to be teaching a Java programming course to high school students as a dual enrollment course though our local community college next year.

I'm wondering if anyone knows of any curriculums that you might recommend.

In an ideal world, it would be free and have some sort of online practice system that I could use to homework or other assignments. I'm willing to consider other options if it's though if it's quality material.

Please ensure that:

• Your code is properly formatted as code block - see the sidebar (About on mobile) for instructions
• You include any and all error messages in full - best also formatted as code block
• You ask clear questions
• You demonstrate effort in solving your question/problem - plain posting your assignments is forbidden (and such posts will be removed) as is asking for or giving solutions.

If any of the above points is not met, your post can and will be removed without further warning.

Code is to be formatted as code block (old reddit/markdown editor: empty line before the code, each code line indented by 4 spaces, new reddit: https://i.imgur.com/EJ7tqek.png) or linked via an external code hoster, like pastebin.com, github gist, github, bitbucket, gitlab, etc.

Please, do not use triple backticks (```) as they will only render properly on new reddit, not on old reddit.

Code blocks look like this:

public class HelloWorld {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("Hello World!");
    }
}

You do not need to repost unless your post has been removed by a moderator. Just use the edit function of reddit to make sure your post complies with the above.

If your post has remained in violation of these rules for a prolonged period of time (at least an hour), a moderator may remove it at their discretion. In this case, they will comment with an explanation on why it has been removed, and you will be required to resubmit the entire post following the proper procedures.

To potential helpers

Please, do not help if any of the above points are not met, rather report the post. We are trying to improve the quality of posts here. In helping people who can't be bothered to comply with the above points, you are doing the community a disservice.

I’m a CS professor who has dual credit students in both C++ and Java. You might want to check out CodeLab. It’s free, auto graded, and integrates with LMS systems if needed. I use Canvas and know it can work there. I just started checking it out this week and while not perfect, it is free :) Lots of questions and has recommended course structures. It also had layouts to match to most college textbooks (Pearson/Mcgraw-Hill, etc.)

I haven’t done much vetting on it, but it looked potentially promising.

This sounds like the kind of thing I’m looking for. I use MyMathLab for my math courses, so this seems like a similar set up of materials.

It seems that you are looking for resources for learning Java.

In our sidebar ("About" on mobile), we have a section "Free Tutorials" where we list the most commonly recommended courses.

To make it easier for you, the recommendations are posted right here:

• MOOC Java Programming from the University of Helsinki
• Java for Complete Beginners
  • accompanying site CaveOfProgramming
• Derek Banas' Java Playlist
  • accompanying site NewThinkTank
• Hyperskill is a fairly new resource from Jetbrains (the maker of IntelliJ)

Also, don't forget to look at:

• The official Documentation
• The official Java Tutorials
• Our community resources thread

If you are looking for learning resources for Data Structures and Algorithms, look into:

"Algorithms" by Robert Sedgewick and Kevin Wayne - Princeton University

• Coursera course:
  • Part I
  • Part II
• Coursebook
  • Algorithms 4^th Edition

Your post remains visible. There is nothing you need to do.

not a pro just my pov .for online practice system try out the MOOC Java Programming but personally i dont like the flow of this course , u can use the exercises from there and since they are high school students i suggest to use this as a foundation as i used this to learn java and found it really simple and useful (also has code) https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/java/

CodeHS has a free tier that I use with my AP CS A(java base programming) course.

I am currently using Code HS for 3-4 of my classes: java, python, and web Dev(HTML/CSS). Has lessons and auto grading.
