We have some pre-planned assignments, such as a moon weight calculator which asks for auser’s weight on earth and calculates his or her weight on the moon. We also build flexibilityinto the curriculum, incorporating student ideas whenever possible. For example, after workingon the moon weight calculator program, a student said “I wonder if we could use the same ideato come up with a sentencing calculator?”. The sentencing calculator involved accepting as input(a) an initial sentence duaration, (b) eligibility for “half time” and (c) if you were good and gotyour 10% “kick”. This program was exciting to create because we hadn’t yet discussed “if”statements. We had to work around

A narrative arc is defined here as a student’sability to form a cohesive net of concepts, reasonings, and relationships that can be explainedwithout using formulae as a crutch. While being able to apply and understand mathematicalformulae is an invaluable tool for students, too often courses rely solely on the evaluation of themathematical formulae related to concepts instead of emphasizing the conceptual definitions andrelationships. This imbalance results in students being weak in the areas of explaining why andhow things happen using words and unable to formulate
