I’m teaching two sections of  Introduction to Computer Science, CPSC 110, this semester. It is always interesting to see why students sign up for a course.

Today I asked students to anonymously complete the following:

Why are you taking this course? Results from the first class were:

1. To satisfy a requirement          7
2. resume builder                         2
3. was told to                               1
4. nothing else fit my schedule   1
5. subject seems interesting     11

The results from the second class were

1. To satisfy a requirement          14
2. resume builder                           3
3. was told to                                 1
4. nothing else fit my schedule      2
5. subject seems interesting          6

So the totals are

1. To satisfy a requirement          21
2. resume builder                           5
3. was told to                                 2
4. nothing else fit my schedule      3
5. subject seems interesting        17
