Improving Transparency and Community in Intro to Programming

The high-level goals of our re-design are to: (i) promote development of a growth mindset and help students become organized, self-directed learners more capable of managing the current, heavy course workload; (ii) develop new, supplemental materials for students to self-check their understanding of material and self-check assigned work before submission; and (iii) integrate more and effective active learning strategies in class.
