Abstract for the conference program
Computer science programs have a retention problem in the entry-level courses national-wide. We will discuss the effect the peer tutoring program has had for students taking the entry-level computer science courses. We believe the tutoring program strengthens CS majors both in number and in knowledge learned and support non-science students taking CSCI 1301 and CSCI 1302 to fulfill core requirements.
