Lessons Learned for the Next Course
Simulation:
- Students wanted more interactivity from simulation
- Group objectives need to be better defined at the outset.
- Many students (not just computer scientists) would have favored a more technical dimension (e.g. a “Battle Lab”). However, it is not clear how this could be integrated into a multidisciplinary class. Possibly splitting class into “lecture” and (second semester?) “lab” would work.
Class split over whether to mix disciplines within teams
Students (and speakers) gained useful contacts
Overall student reaction:
- Found most of the readings informative
- Loved the lectures and guest speakers; We made good use of an exceptional resource pool.
- Three peripatetic professors produce organizational problems
-
