Teaching Delivery Issues: Lessons from Computer Science
No full textInformation Technology (IT) is a subject that is distinct from Computer Science (CS), but is often taught by CS faculty; there is a large overlap between the content of curricula for the two subjects. In this pa-per, we discuss some of the issues and problems experienced within CS that are also of relevance to the IT educator. We discuss the effects of student and faculty expectations along with curricular issues, and we conclude that setting student expectations and aligning them with our own at as early a stage as pos-sible is crucial to success
Arresting the Decline: conversations with female CS undergraduates
No full textComputing, as a discipline within Higher Education, is a relatively new subject and it has undergone a rapid expansion and growth in popularity in recent years. Despite this rise in popularity the number (not just the proportion) of females studying Computing-related subjects at degree level is decreasing. This decline in the number of female applicants for Computer Science (CS) degree programmes is worrying to say the least. This paper reports the findings of a small research project designed to highlight problems and to suggest a course of action that could improve the situation. This initial investigation has attempted to identify any gender-related problems that female CS students at two traditional UK universities have encountered
The Carter Chronology
No full textThis paper proposes the Carter Chronology, a systemic realignment of the Hebrew Exodus within the mid-18th Dynasty of Egypt. Central to this model is the 1494 BC birth of Moses, which establishes a 1414 BC Exodus under Amenhotep II. By applying the "Rule of Inclusive Logic," the author demonstrates that the 480-year span of 1 Kings 6:1 represents a cumulative regnal total rather than linear solar time, resolving the 32-year variance to the 966 BC Temple foundation.
Furthermore, the paper offers a forensic analysis of the Amarna Correspondence, identifying the "Habiru" incursions as the primary archaeological signature of the Israelite Conquest (c. 1374 BC), specifically addressing the Shechem and Hazor synchronisms. Finally, the author defends the "Rameses" toponym (Exodus 1:11) as a scribal anachronism for the 12th-15th Dynasty site of Avaris, supported by the administrative reforms of Senusret III. This synthesis provides a 98/100 correlation between the biblical record and the archaeological strata of the Levant
