Making Lessons Stick

As we saw in Choosing Computing Courses section, courses are the primary mode of interaction between faculty and the vast majority of the undergraduate students and so much of the guidance provided in these chapters are about single courses. But when thinking about how to ensure knowledge and perspectives persist beyond the classroom, it helps to think about how classes build on one another and reiterate the responsible computing knowledge and application across the curriculum. As a goal, witnessing the progression of thought is better than expecting a student, especially new undergraduate students, to understand and be able to address every ethical dilemma in just one semester. The intended audience for this section is a department (or a subset e.g. group of faculty who are interested in responsible computing) rather than an individual faculty.
