The instructor’s PPT slides are brilliant. You’ve splurged on the expensive interactive courseware. Student engagement is stellar. So… why are half of your students still forgetting everything they learned in just a matter of weeks? It's likely a matter of cognitive science! With so much material to "teach" these days, we often forget to incorporate key proven principles into our curricula — namely active recall, metacognition, spaced repetition, and interleaving practice.

The argument I’m making is that computer science as a field has become more narrow over time. I wrote a CACM Blog Post last month where I provided several definitions of computer science: “ Education is always changing: We need to define CS to k

This post first appeared at Grading For Growth earlier this month. There is a second part as well which I'll repost here later, or you can just click and read it now. I've added some new thoughts to the end of this post just for rtalbert.org readers! With summer officially underway, I'm going to be writing for the next two weeks about the grading system I had in place for the semester that just ended, in my Linear Algebra and Differential Equations classes.
