The focus of cs15 is clearly on the programs. It is what the students will remember the most, and what the most time is spent on. Thus, it seems the most time and effort are spent on the programs, and well they should.
Students learn the material through the programs.
Issues involved in the programs Here are some of the things we felt were issues in the programs of cs15, and how they were dealt with this past year. Goal of Programs We feel that the goal of the programming assignments is to allow students to practice and implement the ideas that are taught in class. Programming is a skill which is acquired primarily through practice, and therefore the programs are the outlet for students to hone their skills in programming. Thus, they should be designed in order to emphasize and follow the principles taught in class, which we feel they do a good job of doing. The designs of the programs were highly stressed in cs15.
