  1. The Beauty and Joy of ComputingLecture #10Social Implications of Computing UC Berkeley EECSSr Lecturer SOEDan Garcia CS10 has been chosen as one of 30 courses (all across 10 UC campuses) to receive Pilot funding for online instruction! We’ll have 1080p time-indexed videos, “instructor does the class” videos, and mini-quizzes througout. CS10 chosen as uc online pilot! onlineeducation.universityofcalifornia.edu

  3. Answer • “Multiple choice tests have changed what counts as knowledge in schools. Open-ended questions were the norm 30 years ago. The kind of knowledge you can report on multiple-choice tests is unimportant in the big scheme of things, and what’s really important is not what you already know, but how you can take what you already know and apply it something you’ve never seen before. Multiple choice tests make that hard. Teaching follows tests! The folks who invented Standardized Testing didn’t foresee how it would affect what knowledge means! (unintended consequence)” – Brian Harvey
