For example, if one types in ‘putchar’ inside a processing node, the node Page 24.850.3automatically changes into an I/O node; if you type ‘a=b’ in an I/O node, it changes into aprocessing node. For another example, if one types in a function name, the processing node ismarked as a function call node for easy visual identification (see in Figure 1). Figure 1. Snapshot of CFL

Structuring and customizing some of these projects for non-profit or low-budget start-up organizations will have significant positive impact in our local community and enhance theinstitution’s vision of providing useful community service. This vision of providing qualitycommunity service is supported by the university leadership and practiced by faculty and staff.Designing and implementing these projects enables hands-on practical experience for ourstudents, thus creating a win-win situation for both the community and the students.

The NC policy wasenvisioned to encourage students to attempt more challenging coursework without concerns thata lower grade would adversely affect their GPA. Unfortunately, the policy had the effect ofenabling students that were not making good academic progress to remain enrolled withouttriggering any academic interventions.
