Courseware for teaching analytical reasoning principles: a hands-on laboratory

ABSTRACT

The Collaborative Reasoning Paradigm offers a new approach to teaching analytical reasoning principles across the computer science curriculum. The paradigm relies on computer-assisted teaching tools and collaborative learning exercises designed to excite and engage students, while providing the foundation necessary to develop high-quality software. This workshop will introduce participants to some of the latest software tools and classroom exercises for teaching analytical reasoning principles at key points in the undergraduate curriculum. The workshop will follow a laboratory-style design, providing hands-on experience. The goal is to enable educators to inject new reasoning modules into their existing courses.
