I’m teaching two sections of Introduction to Computer Science, CPSC 110, this semester. It is always interesting to see why students sign up for a course.
Today I asked students to anonymously complete the following:
Why are you taking this course? Results from the first class were:
- To satisfy a requirement 7
- resume builder 2
- was told to 1
- nothing else fit my schedule 1
- subject seems interesting 11
The results from the second class were
- To satisfy a requirement 14
- resume builder 3
- was told to 1
- nothing else fit my schedule 2
- subject seems interesting 6
So the totals are
- To satisfy a requirement 21
- resume builder 5
- was told to 2
- nothing else fit my schedule 3
- subject seems interesting 17
