[net.general] How does you college use micros in instruction?

eric@unmvax.UUCP (10/12/85)

The University of New Mexico is a campus of about 25,000 students
and we are considering moving beginning programming classes to
a microcomputer environment.  In doing such, there are many
questions and would like to receive comments from other
schools who have attempted this.  Specifically,

1. What configuration do other schools have for their low level courses;
Specifically, what is your computing environment used to support
classes such as basic, fortran, pascal, and beginning engineering 
graphics.

2. What do schools which use micros with hard disks do about security of
software? 

3.  If you currently use a microcomputer lab for the above, any
comments on its success or failure as well as any other points
would be appreciated.
