What I am facing as university instructor of Computer science program, how can we deal with it ?

[Starlord]

Sure i can teach multiple languages as I have done freelance projects in java, python, c family which is my core. Scripting wise js I can help you

I tried Java and failed, then i tried C+ and failed miserbly, and last i tried Python and i think i was making progress then boom, failure

Thanks sir for response means a lot.

Pseudo code is already part of it. But as soon as they reach the 4th semester, in advanced courses they are lacking the logic needed. I discussed with Dean and initiating through ORIC and external relations department to divide logic building and syntax-programming courses separate. currently in BS computer science only two courses are about programming one is oop other FOP. In FOP its alot for new generation students to cope with logic building, syntax programming.

Programming is not the knowledge of a particular language,
it goes back to design and problem solving,
which inturn goes back to a student's natural aptitude.

The rot starts before primary , where students are not introduced to mathematics properly.

After that, there is no rescue enough.

Bhai mujhe bhi thodi buhat coding seekha de Allah ke naam pe lol I have tried to learn on my own accord and give up within a week everytime

Have you tried CS50?

Its my literal job to teach we follow cs50 material. However, we do some indigenous work too as most in my uni are ex medical students. So we teach them and somewhat its a success but mostly its tiresome to teach them programming logic

True. But to learn programming you need a base. C language was used for understanding how programs are programmed in high level languages.

No, just Java then C+ and not long ago tried Python.

that is NOT how it works.

That is what has been in work. Maybe internationally not, here it is. That is why I made this thread to make this norm outdated and bring a better solution.

Try teach it in pseudo-code, or simple logic games that you can find online to teach children programming. It doesn't matter the students age, the logical flow needs to be hammered into the heads first.

Better teach any real language than pseudocode, it's same thing but less demoralizing.

Young people need action and do real things.

The study is already demoralizing enough with all the math and physics that they wont never use working.

You learn to code writing code and compiling and watching your things running, even when it's bad code, it's how your learn.

And of course, AI could be useful to ask doubts, but never to start coding.
