In this lunch&LEARN session, Shardul Chiplunkar and Clément Pit-Claudel will share some generalizable lessons they learned from running the first edition of Software Construction in Fall 2023. Software Construction is a new course in the undergraduate computer and communication sciences curriculum at EPFL.
The course targets three core concepts—functional programming, real-world engineering, and correctness—and its design is informed by four principles—students should learn by doing, assignments should be self-motivating, knowledge should be built incrementally, and students should see progress over time.
They will illustrate how they realized these concepts and principles with practical examples of course materials and teaching methods that they hope will serve as useful inspiration to others teaching similar courses.
Lastly, they will present some encouraging preliminary data about course outcomes and share their speculations about experiments for its future evolution.
