Read the introduction to each of the following hypothetical students. Pick one and write the assumptions you find yourself making about that student as a person, as a student in general, and how that student will perform in an introductory level Computer Science class. (We recommend picking the hypothetical student who is inspiring the most or the strongest assumptions in your mind.)
Note: These are private and will not be collected or shown to the class. Write them in whatever way flows most easily: handwritten or typed, list or complete sentences. This is just for you so express your thoughts however you want.
Student A: When you first meet with them, they express anxieties about taking Computer Science and are clearly concerned that they will be in over their heads. They mention that they are a Sociology major and have no experience with programming.
Student B: When you first meet her, she starts telling you about some of her favorite programming projects in high school. She makes a point of dropping a few technical terms and expressing enthusiasm about studying Computer Science.
Student C: When you first meet her, she is effusive and somewhat scattered. She tells you that she is a Frances Perkins Scholar and that she hasn't taken a Math class in over 30 years. She says her kids have convinced her that she needs to get more familiar with computers. She doesn't seem at all anxious about the class.
