- Personal Tutoring in Surrey University, Guildford, UK is what is called Academic Advising in the American University in Cairo. It is the process of allocating students to academic staff to make the policies clear, the career paths, and direct them to relevant services by the University that they might need. In the American system, the credit hour system, and the availability of optional courses, and ability to choose different paths to graduation and combine different majors and minors of choice, can be overwhelming to students. Continuous advise until graduation is required, to create a valid degree from the so many options. In the absence of options, and fixed year based modules for all students in one class, such as the British and the Egyptian system, the student advising becomes relevant only to passing and graduation policies, failed assessments policies, complains policies, additional learning support and well being.

CS2013 Curricula Matrix Edited by myself to show core 1, core 2, and elective topics in separate columns, but this is based on the strawman report, which is now updated in the Ironman report.
NSF/IEEE-TCPP Curriculum Initiative – I proposed to integrate PDC topics in multi-courses using this proposal (PDC_mhelal_CCIT_AASTMT), and it was accepted in 30/7/2013.
CCIT join about 80 current early adopters from the previous five rounds of competition. The support can attempt to provide access to a heterogeneous Linux cluster with multi-core and GPU compute nodes. The support require that we need to carry out detailed evaluation and provide feedback to the curriculum working group each Spring as follows:
1 Update the tables of Appendix I for courses you are teaching by inserting Bloom level, number of hours for topics covered, and hints on “How a topic was taught/integrated in existing topics.” We may also add new topics if you employ those. The direct link to Appendix I is http://www.cs.gsu.edu/~tcpp/
2. We will share and disseminate the course syllabi, content, and teaching material by posting them at CDER resource site maintained at http://www.cs.gsu.edu/~tcpp/
3 Provide data and results of the proposed evaluations. If possible, provide statistical data on pre-post tests for individual students in your courses on PDC topics.
I will receive contributor-level access in due course to upload to CDER resource site. Any faculty staff member interested in joining the program, please forward to me the contributed material and I will upload it.
