Computing covers a range of disciplines from Computer Science to Information Systems. Programming is key to computing regardless of the ‘hard/soft’ scale yet for those who study the softer end the term can strike fear. This creates a self-perception of ‘can’t do it’ which becomes self-fulfilling. This case study examines historical problems of programming delivered to non-technical students and changes implemented resulting in the pass rate moving from 60% to 95%. The session will look at the background to the changes the challenges faced in changing the perception of the students and how academics ‘bought in’ to the change.
