Cs Education As A Min/Max Problem: Or My Rationale For A Under Division Cs Curriculum

Tom Murphy, Contra-Costa Community College

Stevenson Hall 1300
12:00 PM - 12:50 PM

Students, and people in general, like to get as much value from as little work as possible. This is a great trait for CS professionals. This talk will focus on the courses that help with theory and practice, as well as fostering problem solving. It proposes coding as a necessity for all CS professionals. It further proposes that CS clubs and non-graded events, such as hackathons, foster all of the above.
