Course Stories, Season 2 Episode #1: Radically Interactive - CSE 110: Intro to Computer Programming
In this episode, Mary interviews two of her passionate faculty from the School of Computing and Augmented Intelligence, Ryan Meuth and Phillip Miller. Ryan and Phill have a long history with CSE110, Principles of Programming, first redeveloping the course for our Universal Learner pathways, formerly known as Earned Admissions, and we get a little nostalgic when we bring in Jill Roter to briefly fawn over Phill and Ryan and talk about the impact this course makes in all of ASU’s Teaching & Learning realms.
Their teaching approach is radically interactive, with students completing hundreds of small programs and activities throughout the course, with immediate feedback, and a robust support system, at scale. Phill and Ryan have even figured out how to identify the “digital struggle face”. Enjoy this first Course Story of Season Two!
And try your hand at programming using the Maze Runner. This is the program built by Ryan’s Capstone students and used in week one of CSE110. Student outcomes affecting student outcomes, we are gushing with respect and admiration for these amazing professors. They care, and you can feel it!
