I am currently in a debate about the CIS curiculum taught here as OSU. I am arguing that C should be taught as a core language. I define a core language to be a language in which the majority of classes use and require students. So that they should Learn C over Pascal, Fortran, COBOL, ect... I am NOT saying that C is the only language that they should learn, but the primary language for instructional use. What I would like is for everyone who is interested, to mail me a message stating the Univeristy you went to , the main language taught, and if C was also taught. TO MAKE IT SIMPLER IF YOU GRADUATED BEFORE 1980, PLEASE DO NOT RESPOND. (sorry, I want to have a certain group for my data) FORMAT SHOULD BE: Name : John Doe Univ : IVY TECH CORE : SNOBOL C taught: Nope only B THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT! -- -Mike Segel segel@icarus.eng.ohio-state.edu (614) 294-3350 "These opinions are my own and in no way reflect those of the University or the E E Dept.(Although there are those who probably share them!)
