Robert Duvall, Lecturer, Computer Science
Project Description:
Professor Duvall is redesigning his computer science course (CompSci 108 Software Design and Implementation) with the help of course alumni who are now employed in the computer industry. Based on advice from his alumni consultants, he is incorporating new, real-world examples and focusing on concepts identified by alumni as important to current practices. For the current semester (Fall 2008), students will meet with members of the Duke community who have relevant experience to offer advice for student projects. Prof. Duvall is planning to expand this project in the spring semester (2009), by arranging to have course alumni meet with students and critique their projects via web conferencing throughout the semester.
Project start date: 7/31/2008
Funding awarded: $2,800
