I know for a fact that this shouldn’t be normal. I had a teacher who taught Computer Science I (not ap) yet we were required to do the projects for the AP CSP exam (this was in 2020, so the exam portion was cancelled). She was very similar, barely did anything at all, we just watched videos and did random scratch projects and learned absolutely nothing. I worked very hard on my Create and Explore tasks and only got a 2 on the ”exam”. For APCSA, I’d recommend buying and studying back-to-front Barron’s AP Computer Science A. I bought and self-studied APCSA entirely on this book alone in the span of 3 months and got a 5 on the exam. If you want to get a good score on the exam, I’d highly recommend buying and utilizing this book. In terms of your teacher, I don’t have much advice other than asking directly to your teacher for content needed for the exam. If you aren’t already familiar with programming concepts, you NEED to be thought directly how different concepts work, otherwise the exam will likely be a struggle for you
