Abstract:
Computing at all levels has applications across disciplines beyond software engineering. In order to create programming education which serves the specific needs of art and science students, it was necessary for us to create curricula grounded in the computational practices of liberal arts and sciences faculty. In this talk, I will outline the design process used to create two new computing general education courses at the University of Michigan. I will describe how I've evaluated and iterated upon the initial course designs to illustrate my philosophy around curricular and assessment design.
