I’m looking for a response template ( Google idea) for the create task. Digital Portfolio requires students to enter the information on the digital portfolio which is a pain to use in order to grade the written responses.
I don’t know of a Google Doc version. Is that what you are looking for? Also please note that the College Board rules state that you cannot grade this until after the April 30th submission deadline.

@dlewin - we will be updating Unit 8 to match to the new way for students to submit the task. This will hopefully be done in the next month or so.
We want to be careful about any confusion over submitting tasks using a PDF as was the previous case. Students now submit:
- Video
- Written Responses on AP Classroom
- PDF of program code
I imagine we will have a template for students to fill out from which they will copy/paste sections on to AP Classroom, but we have not fully explored our updates for this unit yet.

I had my TAs put this doc together to mirror the PDF template from college board

Hi Hannah,
My students are submitting their PTs week of May 10. So, I want to make sure I understand the submission requirements. I know what they are to do with the video. However, are they supposed to just write their responses and copy and paste their code into the appropriate box on the AP site, but not submit it as final until they’re ready? What has me confused is because it states to save the work as a PDF, but they can’t save it as a PDF unless they type out their work in in a document?
The code must be submitted as a pdf. The pdf can be created using any tool such as code print . The written respones are typed into the boxes provided in the digital portfolio. When students save their responses, my understanding is that the responses get saved into a pdf file. The students have to do a second final submission before the due date. On your end, it shows up as a box if a draft is submitted and a check mark if the final submission is done. I hope this helps.
Do they just copy and paste their entire code from different screens (if they have different screens) onto a document and save it as a pdf? Or do they break it down? Or is it just broken down on what they paste to the digital portfolio?
Thank you
Yes, they can just copy paste from the different screens onto one doc and save it as pdf. Did you try the code print site? It makes it really easy to create the pdf.
Great idea, Sean! Thanks for doing that.
