Overview:
Computer Science received seed funding from CWSEI in 2007 and began the efforts listed below in the Fall. The department moved to full funding starting in mid-2008.
Computer Science plans to use CWSEI's scientific approach to improve student learning throughout our curriculum as an iterative process including:
- articulating clear learning goals for our individual courses and our program as a whole,
- developing both formative assessments to guide teaching and learning techniques and summative assessments (i.e., exams) that evaluate those learning goals,
- revising our teaching techniques in response to assessments,
- and establishing administrative structures to sustain these efforts.
