Succeeding in Computer Science and Beyond
This course aims to help you successfully transition to the computer science degree program. Through a combination of introductory programming practice, exploration of university engagement resources, presentations from guest speakers and faculty, and small group activities guided by computer science peer mentors, you will be equipped for success in your first year and beyond at FSU. You will connect with students in the computer science program and develop strong peer relationships with other students who have similar interests. You will learn firsthand knowledge from peer mentors' strategies they have used to be successful. We will meet weekly to discuss a variety of topics related to success in the computer science program and in college during your first year and beyond. Each session will end with an exit slip for you to monitor your progress toward personal and professional goals you will develop, as well as, to gather your feedback and gain insight into how we can continue to improve this course.
This course is designed for students in the Computer Science program. The content of this course is a blend of material that connects to introductory computer science programming curriculum along with university engagement resources to support the first year in college student success in the computer science program and develop strong peer relationships, learn about themselves, and persist into the second year of college and beyond. This course utilizes peer mentors throughout to provide firsthand experience and strategies to support first year student’s success in the various computer science degree programs and to help them develop connections with identified communities in the university. Throughout the semester students apply what they have learned to the completion of a Personalized Engagement Plan that includes personal and professional goals with action plans and other activities to teach them new skills and strategies to help them be successful in their first year of college. Ongoing assessment in the form of student surveys and exit slips will be used to monitor student progress toward personal and professional goals, gather student feedback, and gain insight into effectiveness of content used to meet intended objectives of the course.

Mentors will be used during the majority of sessions to facilitate small group discussion, reflection, and activities related to the content of this course. In addition, there will be several opportunities for peer mentors to provide larger group discussions related to strategies they have used to be successful in their first year of college and in the first computer programming course in the computer science programs. Mentors will be trained using the PAALM training, and other training will be provided to peer mentors prior to designated sessions that include C++ practice activities.

Students will know where to find engagement activities well beyond their first term of enrollment and intentionally select engagement activities that aligns with their interests, Students will join a formal community and form meaningful peer relationships, Students will gain skills to find new communities as their identities develop, Students will develop personal, social and professional awareness, Students will be able to assess how their engagement activity aligns with their academic and personal goals
1. Through in class exploration activities, guest speakers, partner scavenger hunt, peer mentor small group discussion, and field trips students will know how to find engagement activities and needs throughout their FSU experience.
2. Students will support students in developing peer relationships with other students in the Computer Science program. Through in class team building activities, peer mentor small group discussion, and interest survey follow up lessons, students will learn about themselves and other students in the computer science program who have similar interests and develop relationships with peers.
3. Through the use of data collected as part of the course, team building activities, peer mentor guidance, and campus exploration activities students will learn more about the FSU community and other formal communities they may want to join. Students will have an opportunity to formally sign up for a community of their choice as part of the Personal Engagement Plan developed in the course.
4. This experience will help students develop personal, professional and/or social awareness by using data collected from an interest, skills, or values assessment.
With the help of the Career Center and in class presentation, students will learn how to organize information about their interests and abilities and be able to see how this information about themselves also connects to occupations within the computer science field. Students will use the information they have gained to develop personal and professional goals and action plans for their continued success in their major. Students will discuss first semester challenges and possible solutions that will help them persist to the second semester and beyond. Learn first- hand from peer mentors.
5. This course will include several methods to collect data to help establish and/or strengthen the students' academic goals. There will be a Self-Assessment of Progress after 4 weeks. Data will be used by students to monitor progress toward academic and personal goals and adjust their Personal Engagement Plan, as needed. Students will conduct an end of semester self-assessment to further assess and adjust plan for the second semester and beyond.
Exit Slips at the end of each session will be administered for students to assess their engagement progress, knowledge gained about their personal/professional/social goals, and needs. Data will be used to further enhance upcoming sessions to meet student needs and differentiate information shared as needed.
End of Semester Completion of PEP and Reflection- will further provide students with opportunities to assess their learning, progress toward goals, and their engagement.
