As chairman of the SIGAda education committee, I have volunteered to survey instructors who teach Pascal and Modula-2 in their CS-1/CS-2 courses. I am interested in hearing about the impediments that they see to using Ada in these/their classes. Rather than listing even a few common reasons that I have heard for not teaching (with) Ada, I'd like to leave the responses wide open. I am looking for response like, "I would never use Ada because ..." or "I would consider using Ada if ...", or "I am planning to use Ada when ...". I would prefer to not hear from students who have opinions on this subject, because I am trying to communicate with instructors who teach CS-1/CS-2. If there is enough interest, I will summarize and post the results here, or just send out summaries to those individuals who respond. Please indicate if your response should be kept private.
