Computer Science Pathways
With a high demand for computer scientists and a high drop-out rate in computer science, it is important to look into the reasons behind the attrition rate. As curriculum design and instructional approaches can contribute to this rate, we aim to study curricular design can provide direction for strategic ways to improve student learning. In the study, we analyze their suggestions and opinions on improving course content and sequence within CS major and minor courses.
