🤔 Ah, the "Missing Semester" of 2026, where they finally reveal the dark arts of opening a terminal and using a text editor! 🎓✨ Because clearly, knowing how to use the tools you spent thousands of hours on is the real missing link in CS education, not the actual content you're supposed to learn. 😂🔧

ACP Section Nov 28

This year, PhD candidates from the ACP section are helping our (under)graduate students with the Advent of Code challenges by @ericwastl. Don't forget: programming is done best when it brings joy to you and to your community!

During the week, we offer "office hours" from 4pm to 6pm in the local student association's room. This format allows students to get help from each other and from the ACP volunteers.

I also had inspiring meetings with Lauri Malmi and Juho Leinonen from the Learning & Technology research group at Aalto University. We talked about current challenges such as students adapting to LLMs capable of generating accurate source code from natural-language problem descriptions and even historical ideas of automating assessments.

Reminded of my first year programming lecturer Frank King who on the first lab gave us printed handouts with the instructions and code we needed to write as "there is a magic that happens when the code goes through your fingers". The act of actually typing it helps you remember it and how it works in a way that copying and pasting (or worse, using GenAI) never does. https://www.chu.cam.ac.uk/fellows/dr-frank-king/ #Programming #CSEducation
