= Curriculum Development (2013, 2014) =The principal objectives of this year2013's development arewere
* to complete the alignment of the programming stream courses with the C11 and C++11 standards
* to address the wide variation amongst faculty regarding the texts and web-sites developed by Chris S
The principal objectives of 2014's development are
* determine the content of 344/300 to be rolled out in the fall semester
* align 344/300 with successor courses and professional options to maximize the student success rates in the latter courses
== Resolved Issues ==
Cathy L, Danny A, Don F, Ron T, Ian T, Mary Lynn M, Chris S present
* describe and implement programming solutions for multi-processor hardware using multi-threading
* describe and implement persistent storage of objects using file streams
this initial draft was accepted in principle by the program coordinators
feedback from new hires on the phrasing itself
* CAE has strong opinions about the structure of learning outcomes, which are incompatible with the outcomes pr4oposed above
CMS distributed the following article by the ACM SIGCSE Workgroup, which speaks to the uniqueness of computer science education with respect to generic educational taxonomies
* [http://kar.kent.ac.uk/23997/1/TaxonomyFuller.pdf Developing a Computer-Science-specific Learning Taxonomy]
== To Be Done ==
* IPC144/BTP100
** fix selection sort example** replace sorting applets with alternatives** revise chapter on structs so that it can be covered immediately following arrays and before strings
* OOP244/BTP200
** Chris S to upgrade the web site to include the agreed C++11 changes by mid-October 2013 - first draft is complete - done
