The Last Homework Assignment!

Essay, to be written individually

Re-read the adages page, and perhaps this article on computational thinking for non-computer-scientists. Choose a group of several related adages, or one longer article, that mean more to you than they did at the beginning of the term.

Write an essay of three to six well-structured paragraphs on what this adage or article really means in practice. Do you agree or disagree? Support your claims with specific examples from your experience this semester.
