Assignment

Choose any topic from this course about which your knowledge, awareness, interest, or opinion has changed. Write a short essay (roughly 300 words) about whatever strikes you as especially interesting or significant about this topic and/or the issues involved. Tell how you think it will affect your role as a computer science professional.

Results

I give this assignment near the end of the semester, due the last week. I recommend it highly. The results are sometimes surprising and almost always quite rewarding.

I almost feel like this course has civilized me as a computer science major.
