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:

  1. To satisfy a requirement          7
  2. resume builder                         2
  3. was told to                               1
  4. nothing else fit my schedule   1
  5. subject seems interesting     11

The results from the second class were

  1. To satisfy a requirement          14
  2. resume builder                           3
  3. was told to                                 1
  4. nothing else fit my schedule      2
  5. subject seems interesting          6

So the totals are

  1. To satisfy a requirement          21
  2. resume builder                           5
  3. was told to                                 2
  4. nothing else fit my schedule      3
  5. subject seems interesting        17

Book Project - Web Server Applications

Thursday, January 29th, 2004

Once again, I’m working with a co-author, Karen Anewalt on a book project. It’s a text-book with working title “A Practical Introduction to Web Server Applications.” A book for students who want to know how to set up and use a Web server to provide applications on the Web. It deals almost entirely with tools, methods, techniques, and concepts on the server-side of any Web presence. As we write it we’re using it in a course we’re teaching this semester. I teach one section, and Karen teaches another.

This will be the seventh book project I’ve worked on with others. You can see a list of many of the books I’ve done at amazon.com. I’ve also done few on my own, and they are also listed at amazon, or you can see a list on my home page.
