Yes. This is CodeHS's updated Utah Computer Programming 2 course, rebuilt for Utah's revised Computer Programming standards, and it covers them in full.
CodeHS offers the Utah Computer Programming curriculum in three configurations built from the same content, so schools can pick whichever fits their schedule. Utah Computer Programming 2 is the second semester and begins at functions. Utah Computer Programming 1 is the first semester and covers programming fundamentals through loops, which is what students are expected to know before starting this course. Utah Computer Programming 1 and 2 is the full year in a single course.
Students should be comfortable writing Python programs that use variables, user input, conditionals, and loops. Completing Utah Computer Programming 1 or an equivalent introductory programming course is the expected preparation. No prior experience with functions, data structures, or object-oriented programming is needed, since the course teaches each of those from the beginning.
