Why is it important?
Due to the rise of computer science education so recently, there is a gap in reflection on taking these courses, especially taking these courses from a student perspective.
Perspectives
Writing this article was a great experience as an undergraduate research student. Although it may not answer every question about the student experience taking the AP CSP course, I hope that it will help start a conversation that will result in the continued improvement of the course for students to come.
