Comment on “This was CS50”: Yale ends largest computer science course

sem@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

This gives some hope. One thing I liked was the class updated each year. In the 2015 class, David Malan tore a phone book in half as a demonstration of search algorithms, but moved on after phone books became a distant memory.

While Yale shifts to more specialized computer science introductory courses, David Malan, who teaches CS50 at Harvard, will focus on a new partnership with the University of Oxford. However, Malan looks back on his partnership with Yale as a “perfect proof of concept” that higher education can be more collaborative.
