@xroad It is an opportunity, however I have a senior project to do as well and I decided to go big with that. I have to program a game engine before December. So writing a Java curriculum is going to eat up a whole bunch of time that I could be using on the engine. Especially because she wants me to make videos to go along with the papers.

@saxman343 designing a curriculum is something not a lot of people get to do. That'll definitely make you stand out when you apply for jobs

@xroad Thank you for your input. However she can't officially say that I wrote an entire course due to weird school rules that prohibit changes to a curriculum without administrative approval. So whenever people talk about it it's just "supplemental material." No matter what I do I just get screwed over one way or another.

@saxman343 I saw the AP in your rant and I was wondering what it means

@liammartens AP is Advanced Placement. They're tests that can be taken in high schools and some colleges will exempt you from taking entry level classes if you score high enough on these exams

Coworker's whiteboard today
Currently my school's Java curriculum has outdated resources and the only modern resource is a poorly written AP Computer Science book that barely scratches the surface of the language. Well, my teacher saw what I'm capable of compared to some of the other students and decided that she wants me to write an entire curriculum for the class. The only thing that bothers me is that there are plenty of online resources that I used to get where I am that she refuses to let the class use because they're "too advanced" and "they won't understand it." Does she understand that I've never written a course before and that my way will probably be more difficult than the tutorials that she calls "too advanced?"
Well... there goes my summer I guess
