CS0: why, what, and how?: panel discussion
Matt Brown, Chenyi Hu, Carl Burch, Michael Nooner · Journal of computing sciences in colleges · 2010
CS1 has been commonly offered as the first introductory course in Computer Science. For various reasons, the panelists have developed and offered a CS0 course at different institutions during the last several years. The panelists will share their experience in designing and implementing a CS0 course at their institutions. Discussions will follow on the following questions: 1. Why do we need a CS0 course? Whom should this course be for? 2. What should be the expected objectives and appropriate contents of the course? 3. How do we design, implement, and assess such a course?
