2024 AP CS Principles Create Task Checklist

Final Program Code

✔️

<File format>

Submit one PDF file that contains all of your program code (including comments). 

Include comments or acknowledgments for any part of the submitted program code that has been written by someone other than you and/or your collaborative partner(s). 

<Input>

Instructions for input from one of the following:

• the user (including user actions that trigger events)

• a device

• an online data stream

• a file

<list/ collection type>

Use of at least one list (or other collection type) to represent a collection of data that is stored and used to manage program complexity and help fulfill the program’s purpose

The data abstraction must make the program easier to develop (alternatives would be more complex) or easier to maintain (future changes to the size of the list would otherwise require significant modifications to the program code).

<Procedure>

At least one procedure that contributes to the program’s intended purpose, where you have defined:

• the procedure’s name

• the return type (if necessary)

• one or more parameters

Implementation of built-in or existing procedures or language structures, such as event handlers or main methods, are not considered student-developed.

The procedure includes sequencing in its body.

The procedure includes selection in its body.

The procedure includes iteration in its body.

An algorithm that includes sequencing, selection, and iteration that is in the body of the selected procedure

Calls to your procedure

<Output>

Instructions for output (tactile, audible, visual, or textual) based on input and program functionality

Video

✔️

Your video must demonstrate your program running, including:

Input to your program

At least one aspect of the functionality of your program

Output produced by your program

Your video must be:

• Either .webm, .mp4, .wmv, .avi, or .mov format

• No more than 1 minute in length

• No more than 30MB in file size

The video doesn’t contain: 

• Any distinguishing information about yourself

• Voice narration (though text captions are encouraged)

Personalized Project Reference

✔️

<Procedure>

Capture and paste two program code segments you developed during the administration of this task that contain a student-developed procedure that implements an algorithm used in your program and a call to that procedure. 

Built-in or existing procedures and language structures, such as event handlers and main methods, are not considered student-developed.

<Procedure code segment-1>

The first program code segment must be a student-developed procedure that:

Defines the procedure’s name and return type (if necessary)

Contains and uses one or more parameters that have an effect on the functionality of the procedure

Implements an algorithm that includes sequencing, selection, and iteration

<Procedure code segment-2>

The second program code segment must show where your student-developed procedure is being called in your program.

<List>

Capture and paste two program code segments you developed during the administration of this task that contain a list (or other collection type) being used to manage complexity in your program. 

<List code segment-1>

The first program code segment must show how data have been stored in the list.

<List code segment-2>

The second program code segment must show the data in the same list being used, such as creating new data from the existing data or accessing multiple elements in the list, as part of fulfilling the program’s purpose.
