Assistant Professor Andy Hurd has been asked to present at the spring 2013 Cenage Course Technology Conference in San Diego.
More than 5,000 educators each year attend the conference from across the world. Hurd, who also presented at last year’s conference, is set to speak on two topics:
Assessment in an Introduction to Programming Course
Presentation Description: Learning outcomes: 1) How do you assess your students programming skills better? 2) Are some methods better than others? Why is it necessary? As educators we should always look for a better way to assess our students. Is just assessing coding assignments enough? What about the conceptual knowledge and the problem solving skills?
What Should I Get Out of a Conference Like This?
Presentation Description: I come to the Cengage Conference every year and I gain a wide array of knowledge but I don’t have time to implement it when I get home. So what should I get from a conference like this? How do I bring the techniques I learn into my classroom? What are the important items that help me become a better educator? Why is this needed? Professors could be so much better if they made the time to just introduce 1 or 2 of the concepts they learn at the conference into their classrooms. How do we make that happen?
Andy has been a faculty member in the college’s Computing and Information Sciences Department since 2001.
