Although much researchhas tested various teaching strategies and how course outcomes are associated with drop-out rate, little attention has been paid to using a bottom-up, student-centered, qualitativeapproach with a large sample to understand how to improve required CS courses andcurricula. In the present study, we investigated CS college students

LensAbstract:Physics generally falls under engineering programs yet is required for a multitude of differentmajors spanning many departments and disciplines including medicine. When people think aboutthe medical field, their mind immediately goes to classes such as biology, chemistry, anatomyand physiology. However, when looking at the prerequisite courses for medical school or testedMCAT content, there seems to be one subject that doesn’t fit in with the rest: physics. For years,pre-health students have joked that physics is much less applicable to their future careers than theother courses. The goal of this research paper is to tackle the general student assumption thatunderstanding physics will not help them in their respective fields by providing real
