Many students spoke up who had previously been silent during the more technical sections of the lectures. Some healthy controversies arose about ownership of artistic property. Finally, we discussed the implications of the technical aspects of digital media processing on the social and economic ramifications of their use. Other topics included laws about cars and cell-phones, the Microsoft monopoly case, and the Playstation2/Xbox rivalry.3.

A student may write error-freeprograms 99% of the time, and encounter her first syntax error on a graded event. Because thestudent previously had no syntax errors, she had no motivation to learn how to correct syntaxerrors. Despite the traumatic effect errors have on students, they are ultimately beneficialbecause the process of correcting them helps students learn more about how the computer works.Typically, programming is taught to computer science majors.
