An Investigation into UK Undergraduate Computer Science Education - Part II: Recommendations, Implications, Limitations and Conclusions
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper is the second part of two which reports on an investigation into the general area of UK undergraduate computer science education. More specifically, this second part draws from the first in order to derive key recommendations for UK undergraduate computer science education. Next, it subjects some of the recommendations to a dilemma analysis in order to highlight why they pose dilemmas in their implementation. In this paper, I frequently adopt an insider stance (since I had been a Computer Science academic for almost 5 years) even though, in the main, I attempt to offer a ‘fair’ outsider analysis which reflects the evidence gathered and presented in the first part, insofar as this is possible. This paper is presented in two parts for reasons of length.
