FYI, Panel

• Is the pace of change in first year courses changing more rapidly today than 20-25 years ago?

• Are exogenous factors such as the used-book market forcing second and third editions of texts in the span of two to five years or do pedagogy and language changes happen so rapidly that new courses and materials are required?

• Should we embrace rapid change or work on fundamentals that should remain the same regardless of the change?

• Is object-orientedness a profound change on the order of a Kuhn-ian paradigm shift requiring rethinking and innovation or are incremental changes in courses and books sufficient?
