Dear All, We are looking for university lecturers who are teaching theoretical computer science (TCS) topics at an undergraduate level or have done so in the past. In order to participate in our study, we would ask you to to fill out a questionnaire on theoretical computer science education. It may take as much as 20-30 minutes to complete the questions on this questionnaire, but you will be given a password which allows you fill out the questionnaire in more than one session. Please feel free to take as many sessions as you need to complete the questions. The questionnaire can be found here: http://homepages.inf.ed.ac.uk/cgi/s0235396/research/questions.cgi Our research is conducted in the context of the PhD project Learning by Game-Building by Laura Hutchins-Korte. With the help of your answers we are hoping to gain a better insight into the motivation of students - both past and present - in studying theoretical computer science at the undergraduate level. In particular, we are hoping to find if any factors have a negative influence on student motivation in this area and to evaluate selected teaching activities that may minimise these factors and improve student motivation. Thank you in advance for your participation (or else: apologies for the spam)! Best Wishes, Laura. // Laura Hutchins-Korte // PhD Student (LFCS, ICCS) // School of Informatics // University of Edinburgh // Scotland, UK ---------------------------------------------------------------------- PPIG Discuss List (discuss@ppig.org) Discuss admin: http://limitlessmail.net/mailman/listinfo/discuss Announce admin: http://limitlessmail.net/mailman/listinfo/announce PPIG Discuss archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/discuss%40ppig.org/
