Please answer the following questions to help us improve the workshop.
Content of the Workshop
- Did the workshop affect your thinking about teaching Java? About Computer Science?
- Did our workshop affect your thinking about programming?
If yes, what do you consider the most significant insight?
- What is the most significant difference
between our approach to object-oriented programming and what you have used
or seen?
Our approach is emphasizes program design. Do you think that it is
suitable for AP students at your school? If no, what is the major obstacle?
Your Java Comfort-level
- Are you comfortable
- Describing the Java design recipe taught at the workshop?
- Using the basic design patterns that we covered (Union, Composite,
Interpreter, Singleton, Command, Visitor, Factory)?
- Are you comfortable designing
- Simple Java programs akin to the programs in the workshop exercises?
- Programs that use the visitor pattern?
Format and organization of the workshop
- Did you prefer individual work or team work in the labs?
- Would you have preferred a different ratio of lab work to lecture
presentations? If so, what ratio?
- What time of the year is best for our workshop?
- Do you have any comments about format or organization?
Future
- Assuming that you had no constraints (district, administrator),
would you use the material from this workshop as the core of an AP
level course in Java?
- If constraints prevent from teaching any of our material, what are
they?
- Will you recommend the workshop to a friend or colleague? Why or why not?
- Would you be interested in becoming a master teacher for subsequent
TeachJava workshops?
