A Survey of Computer Experience among First Year Female Undergraduates
This paper presents the results of an exploratory survey which was carried out among 406 part time and full time first year students of four undergraduate degree programmes; BA Public and Social Administration (BAPSA), BA Teaching English as a Second Language (BATESL), BA Accounting (BAAC), and BA Information Systems (BAIS) .These students were enrolled on introductory computer modules. The sur...

متن کاملDesigning a computer graphics course for first year undergraduates
We document the challenge of designing a technical computer graphics course for undergraduate students who have taken only a single undergraduate programming course and have not yet had to take any mathematics beyond high school. This course is the introduction to a major in computer graphics within a Bachelor of Science degree. We needed an introduction to the rigour of computer graphics that ...
متن کاملTangent Line Transformations
The new curve contains all of the information about the original curve’s tangent lines. For example, it crosses the y-axis whenever the original curve has a horizontal tangent line. The straight line y = mx + b, or (x(t), y(t)) = (t,mt + b), has only one tangent line and thus a trivial transformation to a point, (x∗(t), y∗(t)) = (m, b). Some conic sections transform to conic sections. For examp...
متن کاملAn Exploration of First-Year undergraduates' Preparedness and Experiences in Blended Courses
Despite their advantages, blended approaches have been met with mixed results by learners. There is a general view that learners who are known as Digital Natives or Millennials, are technologically savvy. Research, however, suggests rather that they possess poor levels of digital literacy and have demonstrated some degree of avoidance towards e-learning tools (Boyd, 2014; Chigeza and Halbert, 2...
