New Syllabus

What’s in a name?

January 2nd, 2008   Posted by John in website One of the best things about a life in academia is that it begins fresh every few months.Each semester there are new courses, new students, and new pedagogical challenges. And whenyour focus is computing, your topic is a moving target. So while we are guided by certain coreprinciples, we must also continually evolve our knowledge and the strategies for communicatingthat knowledge to students. I suspect that all computing educators worthy of the name make changesto their courses almost every time they are offered. Thus the nameNew Syllabus.That, and I was trying to find a decent URL and something that would pass a corporate namesearch.I think I’ll add a version of this post to the new About page (stickingwith the pedagogical slant).
