Click here to see AlphaStar Online Fall Courses format overview

AlphaStar Year-round Computer Science Program is composed of fall and spring terms. A year-round course is composed of 2 hours per week for 12 weeks per term, in total 24 class hours in one semester. In addition, 2 hours weekly is required for homework on the average (48 hours in total per term). Year-round course (Fall + Spring) is equivalent to the summer course.

HOW DID WE SHIFT OUR ON-SITE CLASSES TO ONLINE KEEPING THE SAME QUALITY?

Class Structure

Typical flow of a class session is as follows:

NOTE: In year-round courses, guided practice time is very limited in USACO courses. Students need to continue to write codes for the solutions discussed in-class as homework.

Dates & Registration

The assigned instructors are subject to change.

All class times are in Pacific Time (PT).

No Classes during Thanksgiving Break (Nov. 25 – 29, 2020)

Testimonials

Ali teaches well and in a fun way, awesome teacher, lectures not too hard not too easy.

Pre-MathCounts Basic Student

I like this course because it made me like physics a lot. My teacher is very nice and caring. Whenever I am confused about anything he explains it to me in good detail.

F=ma Basic student

The class was great and taught me techniques to solve Number Theory problems!

The live classes are fun and interactive and the online homework, exams, etc are well-formatted on LMS.

I learned a lot from this course.
