1. Before today, how much programming experience have you had? (None · A little on my own · A class before this one · A lot)

2. When you imagine writing your first Java program, what's the feeling — excited, nervous, both, or neutral?

3. Have you taken an AP exam before, in any subject? If so, what helped you most in preparing for it?

4. On a scale of 1–5, how comfortable are you with the idea of "failing" at something several times before it works — since debugging code is going to be most of what we do?

5. What's one thing outside of school (a game, an app, a hobby) where you've had to problem-solve or troubleshoot something on your own? (Great way to surface transferable skills they don't think of as "coding-related.")

6. What's your biggest hope or biggest worry about this class?
