Ideas for not entirely messing up computer science and software engineering education. These are short conversations among the computing team from Curtin University. We acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the land on which we meet to record this podcast, the Whadjuk people of the Noongar nation . We pay our respects to Elders past and present. What we say and do in computing may seem very abstract and removed from personal and cultural matters, but we must not forget the lives we impact, because computing does impact everyone. We must acknowledge those whose land and resources we use.

Episode #9
<p>Arlen Brower and David Cooper talk about how to get novice coders to appreciate the value of testing their code.</p>
Episode #8
<p>Arlen Brower and David Cooper discuss how and why we often use games in programming assignments, and what can go wrong.</p>
Episode #7
<p>Antoni Liang and David Cooper talk about what happens when units are too easy, too hard, and just right.</p>
<p>Arlen Brower and David Cooper discuss programming languages, and why they’re all great and terrible.</p>
