Course-Prerequisite Networks for Analyzing and Understanding Academic Curricula

Understanding a complex system of relationships between courses is of great importance for the university's educational mission. This paper is dedicated to the study of course-prerequisite networks that model interactions between courses, represent the flow of knowledge in academic curricula, and serve as a key tool for visualizing, analyzing, and optimizing complex curricula. We show how course-prerequisite networks can be used by students, faculty, and administrators for detecting important courses, improving existing and creating new courses, navigating complex curricula, allocating teaching resources, increasing interdisciplinary interactions between departments, revamping curricula, and enhancing the overall students' learning experience. The proposed methodology is illustrated with a network of courses taught at the California Institute of Technology.Comment: 24 pages, 20 figures, 10 Table

7th Annual Focus on Creative Inquiry Poster Forum Program

The poster forum today displays a few of the more than 400 projects initiated by Clemson University Creative Inquiry teams. What is Creative Inquiry? It is small-group learning for all students. It is the imaginative combination of engaged learning and undergraduate research. Ultimately, it is the creation of an Ah-ha! Moment — and it is unique to Clemson University. Creative Inquiry establishes small teams of undergraduate students that work with faculty mentors to take on problems that spring from their own curiosity, from a professor’s challenge, or from the pressing needs of the world around them. Students take ownership of their projects. They ask questions, they take risks, and they get answers
