Computer Science 1 Common Programming Mistakes

So I’ve seen a lot of people take computer science 1 AP. However by the end of the year, they manage to only get a good grade, but still lack the understanding of the fundamentals in computer science.

But that aside, when I see their programming, I notice some common errors that beginning students make when programming. Relatively simple and easy to address, I’ve made a power point/pdf (since the PPT fonts get messed up :| ) for teachers to show to students to help avoid unnecessary questions.

  1. I don’t know anything about coding, but I know something about clarity, and your slides have it! Great job communicating your points and providing examples to illustrate them.

    Have you uploaded your Power Point to Slide Share or some other platform where teachers can find it?
