Problem Description
- our top students fail interview tests due to
- lack of theoretical knowledge
- our students don't market themselves
- some are bright, hard-working but hide from the public spotlight
- C++ projects no longer accepted - too difficult for our students
- yet some GP students have shown the ability to excel well beyond reasonable expectations
Suggestions
- the long march
- focus on concepts throughout our courses
- Jordan identified the teaching of concepts as critical
- Cathy suggested stressing concepts in lower semester courses
- identify concepts for what they are when we expose students to them
- unit testing
- implementation
- Jordan is known for doing this in his courses
- Chris continues to add conceptual material in his notes
