San Francisco is seen as a global tech capital, yet even here, high school students are shockingly ill-equipped to survive in the modern digital age. The school where I teach science is nestled in the historic Mission District of San Francisco, mere miles from the sprawling campuses of X, Meta and Google. During the pandemic, our district embodied this tech-forward identity by providing Chromebooks and hotspots for all students to go fully remote for an entire academic year of virtual learning.

I participated at the first SIGCSE Virtual Conference last December. I was on a panel Assessments for Non-CS Major Computing Classes (see the ACM DL paper here ). The panelists were excellent. I was excited to meet Permit Chilana who came up with the idea of conversational programmer in her 2015 VL/HCC paper. Her talk was particularly relevant to me because she emphasized how she is studying business students, not computer science students her research is about how non-CS students interact with

Creating a Cumulative Frequency Table: Steps Involved The process involves defining equal and non-overlapping intervals encompassing all data points, tallying data within each interval, and then calculating cumulative frequencies by adding the current interval's frequency to the previous interval's cumulative frequency. This running total is the defining characteristic of a cumulative frequency table.

The instructor’s PPT slides are brilliant. You’ve splurged on the expensive interactive courseware. Student engagement is stellar. So… why are half of your students still forgetting everything they learned in just a matter of weeks? It's likely a matter of cognitive science! With so much material to "teach" these days, we often forget to incorporate key proven principles into our curricula — namely active recall, metacognition, spaced repetition, and interleaving practice.
