The undergraduate language course: what to do?
Thinking about teaching our undergraduate PL next semester, I've been digging up lots of suddenly interesting readings. The teaching about PL project links to much information, and Wadler's and Felleisen et al.'s critiques of SICP were enlightening as well.
Most recently I stumbled upon Joseph Bergin's writings on teaching, in particular ""The undergraduate language course: what to do?" (SIGPLAN Notices 36(6):20-22, 2001), which describes a taxonomy of course approaches: "historical", "smorgasbord", "interpreter", and "principles". Also relevant is a recent article "In Computer Science, A Growing Gender Gap: Women Shunning a Field Once Seen as Welcoming" by Marcella Bombardieri (Boston Globe 2005-12-18). (I'm sorry I couldn't find Wadler's and Bergin's articles freely available online.) |
