Connecting Majors/Non-Majors Courses Via Tabular Data

Published: 02 July 2019 Publication History

Abstract

As is the case with many Computer Science departments, we offer one set of courses for our majors and another (smaller) set for non-majors. Historically, the divide between these sets has been fairly visible, an academic reality that may be typical for many institutions. Initially triggered by a desire to improve and advance our most heavily enrolled non-majors course, we have been working for the past several years to dovetail courses across this "great divide" by focusing on tabular data. This report is an outline of our progress (in general) and this one course that experienced most change (in particular); we believe the direction we are headed and the gains we hope to see might be valuable for other institutions as well.
