Christopher Bohn, Ph.D.
Lecturer, University of Nebraska–LincolnAbstract
Every student has the right to learn. As educators, we have an obligation to help each student learn, to the best of our abilities. I will discuss this philosophy in general and also in the specific scenario of teaching software engineering at the introductory level. Done effectively, showing students what “right” looks like – that is, how to apply good software engineering practices – at the beginning of their computing education and reinforcing it throughout their education is no less effective than attempting to inculcate good engineering practices after their core computing education.
