Yes. The AP CSP Curricular Requirements (via the AP Course Audit) require teachers to provide this amount of class time
(a minimum of 12 hours of class time to complete the Create task and a minimum of 8 hours to complete the Explore task).
This time is designated for students to complete the tasks and use the AP Digital Portfolio to submit their work. For more information regarding the Curricular Requirements go to: http://www.collegeboard.com/html/apcourseaudit/courses/ap_computer_science_principles.html.
