Within a few days of Malan??€™s April 15 announcement of a new grading plan, faculty within the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences voiced worries about whether changing the CS50 grading scheme would complicate students’ abilities to take the class for credit...
...While Malan??€™s preliminary sat/unsat plan would still have allowed students to take the course for a grade in order to satisfy concentration or General Education requirements—or if they simply wanted to receive a letter grade—SEAS Dean Cherry A. Murray said that any final decision on the grading structure would have required a faculty vote...
...increasingly valuable life skill, and making CS 50 accessible to students with all levels of prior experience should be a priority. Nevertheless, the course is clearly accessible already; 72 percent of last term’s class had no previous programming background. This is largely a testament to Malan??€™s approach: His lecture style is engaging, and he draws teaching fellows from the pool of undergraduates who have already taken the class. Instructors offer a tremendous number of office hours, the sections are tracked, and Malan himself continually emphasizes that students of all levels can succeed in this...
...Computer Science 50 Lecturer David J. Malan ’99 announced in an e-mail to his course staff that the introductory coding class would switch to a satisfactory/unsatisfactory grading system, administrators within the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences and CS50 teaching fellows have expressed reservations about Malan??€™s plan—which might delay the grading change until the fall...
...also praised the efforts of CS50 Lecturer David J. Malan ’99, who has worked to make the introductory coding class more accessible to those without a CS background.
