Comp 401Concluding RemarksInstructor: Prasun Dewan

#What did you Achieve?Java?Some of you already knew JavaJava++

#

Assignment Every Week!Online courses offer assignments/quizzes every lecture

#Large-Scale Object-Oriented Programming!

Large in terms of number of number of classes/typesDefined by you (Programmer-defined)Count them!

#Complex Programming

#Barbara Ericson ericson@cc.gatech.eduGeorgia Institute of TechnologyUse MethodsDrag method names from the details window Methods area to world.my first methodCan Group MethodsDo in orderOne after the otherOr Do togetherAt the same time

You built an Alice-like environment that can be used by others to programOther learn how to use Alice

#Quick Review of Design PatternsThe design patterns taught in Comp 401PrasunDewan, Teaching Inter-Object Design Patterns to Freshmen. Proceedings of ACM SIGCSE. 2005PPT

#Piazza?

Composing questions is difficult!Composing answers is even more difficult!You learn and lead by teachingFuture?

#Multi-Modal HelpPiazzaOffice HoursRecitationPhysical study groupsWould it help if you knew how long it would take to get a response and from whomShould Eclipse automatically determine you need help and fill overridable status for youWould it help if when you are in difficulty, you could indicate to Eclipse you need help and the instructors could push help to you?

#Multi-Faceted Learning Material

Which would you not use if all of these options were available?Why come to class?

#Why Come to Class?Is it worthwhile to give a lecture if the recording of the lecture is available?If no, what should we use lecture time for?Quiz?More recitation like assignments? (will take time from projects)Help solve project problems? (200 students?)Have designated students present lectures in their own words?

#What Have You Achieved

You have had most elements of MOOCs and face to face education elements in this courseYou have an educated opinion on this topic
