Episode description

In this episode, a discussion of CS50's underlying pedagogy. David and Brian discuss changes made to CS50 at Harvard in Fall 2019, among them new-and-improved lectures, weekly quizzes, by-appointment tutorials, a choice of end-of-term "tracks" for students, and lots of new problem sets. Hear the reasons behind those changes as well as what worked well and what didn't. The CS50 Podcast is hosted by CS50's own David J. Malan and Brian Yu at Harvard University. Each episode focuses on (and explains!) current events and news in tech and computer science more generally. This is the CS50 Podcast.
