Creating a new introductory course sequence for BSIT students
Gregory W. Hislop, Lee J. Leitner · 2009
This paper discusses a new set of introductory courses for a BSIT degree program. Previously, the BSIT students in this program started with a fairly typical "CS1/CS2" sequence. Our faculty decided to move away from this programming-oriented sequence as the degree starting point, while not reducing the programming learning outcomes for the overall degree. The process of making this change has required several steps, and the result is a substantially different set of courses.
