Changes

DetailsSummer of 2013 we emphasized using object-oriented Python with Python's graphing and scientific libraries, both industry-standard modules, and display the results as a CGI web site application.

This represents a significant change to previous semesters that considered object-oriented Python separately from CGI Web applications.
Learning OutcomesC: Write Object Oriented Python programs using classes and objects

D: Create CGI web site applications using Python

Tentative Future Plans

TermFall 2013
Activities
  • Assessment (measurement) of outcomes
  • Analysis and discussion of assessment data and next steps
  • Implementation of planned changes and reassessment
More DetailsGiving the course as a 7-week Summer course requires compressing course content into the shorter time-span. While this is possible on the didactic side, on the student side there is a great need for time-management skills. I make a serious effort to get students up and running immediately.
