Active learning in computer science: impacting student behavior
D. W. Cordes, Allen S. Parrish · 2003
The Department of Computer Science at the University of Alabama has undergone significant revisions in its introductory course sequence for computing majors. This included the construction of a new technology-enabled classroom and a complete shift in the instructional paradigm. This paper examines the course format and instruction mode, and also looks at student behaviors and attitudes (as captured through end-of-semester surveys) regarding these courses.
