Length of Course:
One Semester (1st/2nd quarters & 3rd/4th quarters)
Course Description:
The Computer Science course at LPUMS is a class in which 7th and/or 8th graders will enroll in. This course
will provide both a classroom and project-based learning experience. Students will have the opportunity to use
technology to solve problems, complete projects, and creatively and effectively express themselves. They will
develop and apply skills to use throughout their lives, with an emphasis on Basic Computer Operations &
Concepts, Internet Searching & Online Databases, Acceptable Use, Copyright & Plagiarism, and Organizational
& Project Tools. Google Docs, Google Slides, Google Sheets, and Google Forms will be used as tools to
master these skills.
Course Objectives:
1. Students will develop and apply skills in basic computer operations & concepts.
2. Students will develop and apply skills in internet searching & online databases.
3. Students will develop and apply skills in acceptable use, copyright, & plagiarism.
4. Students will develop and apply skills in organizational & project tools.
Grading:
Student achievement will be assessed and reported using a four-point proficiency scale instead of the
current percentage grade on specific standard, skills or topics. The simplified scale gives students,
teachers, and parents a quicker and clearer reference to easily determine which standards have been
mastered and which need further study. These levels of proficiency will then be translated or converted
to an easily recognizable letter grade.
