Development Laboratory Courses for the Computer Science 1 and 2 Courses at Oberlin College

奥伯林学院正在为计算机科学专业开发两门以实验室为基础的入门课程。这些课程大体上遵循ACM计算机科学课程委员会建议的大纲，但更强调算法和入门材料的概念发展。实验室部分用于使课程更切合实际地介绍计算机科学所涵盖的广泛主题，并加快和加强学生对一些需要实践经验的技术问题的学习。其目的是使这些课程更有趣、更有用、更准确地反映该领域，并对计算机科学专业的女性和少数民族人数产生积极影响。

Oberlin College is developing two laboratory-based introductory courses for the computer science major. The courses generally follow the outline suggested by the ACM Curricular Committee on Computer Science, but give more emphasis to algorithms and conceptual development of the introductory material. The Laboratory sections are used to make the courses more realistic introductions to the broad range of topics covered in computer science, and to speed up and enhance the students' learning of some technical matters that require hands-on experience. The objective is to make the courses more interesting, more useful, and more accurate reflections of the field, and to have a positive effect on the number of women and minorities majoring in computer science.
