Standardized mathematics scores as a prerequisite for a first programming course
|
Abstract
Many students fail their first programming course due to the failure of colleges to provide the proper mathematics prerequisites. The purpose of this paper is to address this problem. Past research and accepted theory are presented that show the cognitive requirements for success in a first procedural programming course. The paper then presents how to apply this knowledge as prerequisites and argues for algebra competency as a prerequisite for the first programming course tha...
