Meeting: Wednesday, February 18, 2004


NOTE : Summary note from Jun...

Here is some notes from our Wednesday meeting with Gerhard,

1. we will do survey with two classes: CSCI 1200 and DLC. These two classes are very different, so there are a lot to compare.

2. IN terms of the time we have, we can define a larger framework, but only investigate several most interesting issues in this research

3. An article we could have a look, "In Defence of Cheating". Bill has the copy.

4. Survey Form, we will develop the main category of questions in Monday's meeting. Here is some suggested by Gerhard...

  • Do you have collaboration before?
  • Does it ever help you to achieve sth you won't get on your own?
  • What motivated you to collaborate?
  • Was it externally imposed?
5. About the reading, look into articles and CSCL conference papers.

CSCI 1200 - Introduction to Computing (current instructor : Michael Main, 100+- students in the classroom)

Description : Presents an overview of computing concepts and techniques, including hardware, software, and communication networks. The laboratory accompanying the course enables hands-on learning of computer tools and applications. A small amount of programming is included in the course. This course was previously titled Introduction to Programming 1.


CSCI 7000-001 - Design, Learning, and Collaboration (current instructor : Gerhard Fischer, under 15 students in the classroom)

CSCI 7000-005 - Things That Think (current instructor : Michael Eisenberg)

Description : Covers research topics of current interest in computer science that do not fall into a standard subarea. Prerequisites : Consent of instructor.


CSCI 7000-010 - Game Programming (current instructor : Alex Repenning and Clayton Lewis, under 45 students in the classroom)
