first of all - thank you for your quick answer. No, we are interested in students in their second, third or fourth year at the university. In many Danish (science) curricula, introductory programming is a mandatory part - we are interested in two things: Has the students any remembrance of the programming they learnt and how do they think of the programming they learnt: was it relevant for their curriculum, have it been useful (as a tool, as a way of understanding science, as a way of understanding fellow students (computer science students in particular)) Regards, Jens ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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/
