A typical week
Weds: Guided practice assigned
Sat: At least one GP exercise submitted
Weds noon: CLASS TIMELearning Objectives quiz
Q&ALab problem set
Weds AM: Submit remaining GP exercises
W,R,F,Sat:Watch screencasts
Do readingsPractice
Ask questions
Sun,M,T: Finish all guided practice

Lab problem sets
Work in teams of 2--3Submit a rough draft at end of class
Completed task by midnight Thursday

Results
See final exam at:http://bit.ly/CMP150finalexam
What students took away:
How to solve a problem by writing an algorithm and how
to think about a problem logically.
Through exercises in class, I improved upon
my critical thinking skills.
I learned that discovering things on my own is generally more beneficial than having
things spelled out.
Being able to use the help in MATLAB effectively. I never used
the help section in a program before.
