Matthias Felleisen: The First Year

Matthias Felleisen visited Northwestern University as part of the Distinguished Lecture Series in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science in the McCormick School of Engineering. Abstract: My team and I have developed an alternative approach to the first-year courses on programming and computing. Unlike conventional approaches, ours focuses on designing programs in a systematic manner. The syntax of the chosen programming languages (both Java and Scheme) is only discussed as needed to support design principles. Field tests with over 500 high schools and a dozen colleges have shown that the approach produces better students than conventional approaches that use a single language. In several controlled studies, we could also show that students find our curriculum more appealing than the AP curriculum. In my talk, I will provide an overview of the project, especially its intellectual premises and principles. My goal is to encourage you to think about the first year in a different way. The old ones are of questionable value. If we want our beautiful discipline to survive, we must find a good way of teaching it. ____ ▶️ Subscribe: https://bit.ly/NorthwesternUYTSubscribe Follow Northwestern on social media: -Instagram:   / northwesternu   -TikTok:   / northwestern.u   -Twitter/X:   / northwesternu   -LinkedIn:   / northwestern-university   -Facebook:   / northwesternu   Northwestern on the Web: -Northwestern Homepage: https://northwestern.edu -Northwestern Now News: https://news.northwestern.edu -Northwestern Magazine: https://magazine.northwestern.edu
