Computer Science (31)This project is designing, implementing, and assessing a new introductory computer science course by adapting and implementing three exemplary practices: test-driven development, pair programming and laboratory practica. Each practice plays a complementary role in the course. Test-Driven-Development (TDD) motivates students to adopt a systematic approach to developing and testing their programs, pair programming provides design and debugging assistance while leveraging the benefits of collaborative learning, and laboratory practica increase students' motivation to develop their individual programming skills. The project has three distinct goals: adapt and integrate the three practices in the course; assess success and retention rates, the development of students' individual programming skills, students' use and mastery of TDD, and the effects of pair programming; and refine and disseminate the materials developed for our course.

计算机科学（31）这个项目是设计、实现和评估一门新的计算机科学入门课程，通过调整和实现三个范例实践：测试驱动开发、结对编程和实验室实践。每个练习在课程中都起着互补的作用。测试驱动开发（TDD）激励学生采用一种系统的方法来开发和测试他们的程序，结对编程在利用协作学习的好处的同时提供了设计和调试帮助，而实验室实践增加了学生发展个人编程技能的动机。该项目有三个不同的目标：适应和整合课程中的三个实践；评估成功率和保留率，学生个人编程技能的发展，学生对TDD的使用和掌握，以及结对编程的效果；完善和传播为我们的课程开发的材料。
