Transitioning to an objects-early three-course introductory sequence: issues and experiences

Brief Overview CC2001 proposes a three course introductory sequence and encourages faculty to experiment on what the appropriate content of this sequence ought to be. This session will present early results from several universities that have begun the transition to a threecourse objects-first introductory sequence. Through informal conversations, we have identified that this is a topic of current concern for departments looking to adopt the CC2001. Upon an initial inquiry at the SIGCSE members’ mailing list, we received several replies (>15) with offers to participate and with high encouragement for us to organize this session.
