Managing a large tertiary computer science class
Vreda Pieterse, Christoph F. Stallmann · 2014
The organisation of a tertiary module shows prevalent problems when the size of the class increases. We present problems associated with large classes and investigate a number of proposed solutions. An attempt was made to address these difficulties in a presentation of a first-year module introducing programming with yearly student enrolment of approximately 500. We report on the different aspects of managing a large Computer Science class. The focus of the paper is on the infrastructure put in place to handle this large enrolment at a residential institution.
