Retooling a curriculum
John Hunt, Sarah Matzko · Journal of computing sciences in colleges · 2007
Computer Science has problems attracting and retaining students. One response has been the development of new curricula, which often originate at large research universities. This paper looks at the issue of adapting one such curriculum to a small liberal arts college. Our focus is on changing the supporting tool set - language, development environment, editors, etc. We discuss the criteria that lead to these choices, particularly the related to differences in students.
