We have been the two responsible for this course over the years and we would like to share our experience.
We have 2 or 3 hours a week of theory and demonstrations and 3 hours a week of practical work in a computer lab. At first, only computers were in this lab; now we also have graphic calculators.
We will discuss the general philosophy of this course, which pieces of software were selected and why, how the students reacted, which kind of assessment we chose, how the course changed over the years, etc.
