engineer with only the option of a full rewrite in response to changes. 4. The methodology must produce code that is reusable. This falls under the shortcut heading—the fastest way to produce solid-code is to reuse existing solid code. Here, the well-documented and modular nature of the methodology should keep in mind the goal of reuse. 5. The methodology must be able to handle complexity. A top-down, modular approach starts by breaking the main large and complex functions into smaller, less-complex blocks, then break each of those blocks into smaller, less-complex blocks, and so on until the design is just a group of smaller manageable pieces.To distill these goals down to a simpler expression, what is

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
