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?<\/p>\n<p><strong>What Should I Get Out of a Conference Like This?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Presentation Description: \u00a0I come to the Cengage Conference every year and I gain a wide array of knowledge but I don&#8217;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?<\/p>\n<p>Andy has been a faculty member in the college\u2019s Computing and Information Sciences Department since 2001.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Published:<\/strong>\u00a0Thu, 29 Nov 2012 14:23:07 +0000 by\u00a0e.bryant<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Assistant Professor Andy Hurd has been asked to present at the spring 2013 Cenage Course Technology Conference\u00a0 in San&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2086,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3644","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-campus-announcements"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3644","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2086"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3644"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3644\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3644"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3644"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3644"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
