Colleen,
you won’t like
sitting alone in a
basement
coding until
3 in the morning
That’s true.

“have to be able to
make it their lifestyle;
can't just do it as a side thing,
have to be thinking about it
all the time.”

You’re a
computer
scientist?! Of course
you got the
job, you’re
a woman.
Women are
better at…
What
makes you
say that?
Nonsense
NCWIT.org
I’ve heard you
have a lot of women
in CS at Mudd.
We don’t.
We must be doing
something wrong.
Probably…
Yep.
Make
everything
pink!

2 Split the
intro course
by experience
“[CS1is]like takingaforeign language class,
but the majority ofstudents are already native speakers …
you'd thinkthat'd help you,
but teachers adjust to the native speakers,
so people who are new to the idea
get left behind in the dust.”
(Lewis, Yasuhara, & Anderson, 2011)
Split the Intro Course
by Previous Experience
CS	5	- Gold
CS	60
AP	CS
CS	70
CS	42
CS	5	- BlackHS	CS

Recognize
that learning
takes time
“Evenmy professor told us that
some people are just born that way,
with thatmentaloutlook
that is compatible withCS…
They feelit’s so easy for them...
Yeah,and he told the rest ofthe people that
some of you will try, but some of you won’t get it,
and it’s just that your mentaloutlook
isn’t made thatway.
It’s something you’re born with. You can’t help it.”
