semantics and tricky syntax.Programming students today must master some of these languages in order to be viable jobcandidates.Programming is a complex cognitive task that can be broken down into four concrete steps, atleast at the outset. For larger systems there may be other aspects as well: ● Comprehension of the desired task ● Planning a sequence of steps to accomplish that task ● Writing a program in a particular language to implement the algorithm ● Testing and (usually) debugging the program In teaching programming, we can show students the programming constructs of alanguage, such as a loop, but like any language, fluency comes through practice. The obviousway to build competence is to have students write programs

The plan for a garden is laid out and anchor plants, maybe trees or bushes, are selected first.These plants need to be diverse themselves to ensure the overall health of the ecosystem. They serveas shade for seedlings not yet ready for full sun and even serve as a kind of existence proof themselves.The metaphor corresponds to a diverse faculty, which needs to be a deliberate part of a strategic plan,and all of the faculty need to focus on broadening participation.

Specifically, the authors plan toconduct a multiple semester based study. In the second round of implementation, the PBHassignments will be kept optional in the first semester. The students who do not opt to completethe PBH assignments will serve as the control group of students for data comparison for the PBHstudents. The incoming grades of all students will be looked at by obtaining student grades fromthe previous “Statics” course in sequence through the University IKM (institutional knowledgemanagement) database to gauge the type of student and their interest.

did “Twin Cities groups.” There was an absence of managers’ in- depth knowledge and as such, authority accrual through “expert power” (Badawy 1995) could not occur. Also of interest in Figure 5 is the greater dissatisfaction, albeit by a small amount, of “Twin Cities groups” with eventual project outcomes than “Duluth teams.” One might argue that the groups from the Twin Cities, unbeknownst to them, had a richer project management experience than their Duluth counterparts who did not require the same level of detailed plans and execution per trip to client locations. The twin cities groups were, thus, arguably more involved and better equipped at the end of the exercise and were less satisfied with the
