FAQ

In which level is the student enrolled?

For Python Programming, depending on any existing programming knowledge and any sessions that the student has attended at EVComputing, they are placed at an appropriate level – Beginner, Advanced I, Advanced II or higher. Students can also move to a higher level during a session. Care is always taken to ensure that each student is sufficiently challenged yet not overwhelmed during the session. Python Programming levels at EVComputing

For Java Programming, we follow the AP Computer Science A curriculum, using a widely adopted high school textbook. The entire course material is available on the course portal, and students are encouraged to advance in the course if they complete the week’s assigned homework early. The teaching is designed to accommodate each student’s individual pace. More information: Java Programming at EVComputing

What is the setup needed at home to attend the online class?

Classes work best when they are attended using a Windows or Mac computer, rather than a Chromebook or tablet. Also, students should use the Zoom desktop client, not Zoom from a browser.

What is the enrollment cancellation policy?

To cancel an enrollment, send request by email to code@evcomputing.com
For cancellation requested 10 calendar days before the student’s first class or earlier, you will be refunded the amount paid less $50.
For cancellation requested 3 calendar days before the student’s first class or earlier, you will be refunded the amount paid less $90.
No refunds for cancellation request emailed 2 days before the class starts or later.

How do I change enrollment to another class?

You can request a change of class day/time online using this page:
Request to Change Class Day/Time

Can I change enrollment from one session to another session?

Enrollment can only be changed to another day or time in the same session. Enrollment in a session or a part of it cannot be carried over to a different session.

My child is returning to EVComputing after a gap. How do I enroll and in which level?

Students returning to EVComputing after a gap start off with a review of the concepts learnt in their last session. Some complete the review in 1-2 classes, while some take longer. It depends on how much of the last session a student recalls and the time that the student can spend on homework each week.

Enroll the child in Python Programming or Java Programming, and they are placed in the appropriate level.

The levels of Python and Java courses at EVComputing, each level’s topics and approximate number of weeks needed to complete each level are described in these pages:
Python Progamming (Beginner to USA Computing Olympiad)
Java Programming (Beginner to AP Computer Science A)

What is the time needed for homework each week?

Python Programming:

60 minutes or more for the Beginner level each week.
90 minutes or more for the Advanced Level I, II levels each week.
3-4 hours each week for the Competitive Programming with Python course.

Java Programming:

A minimum of 3 hours of homework each week is recommended for this course, which follows the AP Computer Science A curriculum. In a school setting, students typically spend about 6-8 hours per week on homework for this subject.

A lot of learning and reinforcement takes place when student communicates with teacher by email message during the week. Time spent on sending message and reading response count towards homework time.
