- Abstract
- CS2 classes suffer from a trend of dropping enrollment, poor gender diversity, the challenge of students learning a secondary programming language, and difficulties related to inadequate (or varied) preparation provided by CS1. Surveying educational research has indicated that using game development as the focus for assignments can mitigate many of the challenges of teaching CS1. This paper has extracted many of the key beneficial components of game development assignments in CS1 and provides them as a recipe for beneficially augmenting CS2 with game development assignments. It is expected that all CS2 courses can be enhanced by applying the elements presented within this recipe.
