Courses on CS Education (Revisited)
June 4th, 2009
I asked a while back if anyone knew of courses or degree programs dedicated to teaching people how to teach computer science. Several people provided useful links; the one I’ve found most interesting is Stanford’s CS198 course, in which senior undergrads help teach first-year courses. I’d really like to try something like that locally, but it would take much longer than 329 days to ste up…
I love this idea. Final year students have a lot of enthusiasm that I think could be infectious for first-years. Would it be easier to get off the ground if we just had a couple guest lectures by final years (or recent grads..see where I’m going here?)
