Abstract
Many colleges and universities throughout the world offer introductory computer science courses with significant student enrollment. There are certainly plenty of challenges for the administrators of those courses; ensuring equitable grading across different instructors and offering times for the course, accomplishing the massive material preparation and other logistical tasks required for the course, grading the large number of assessments associated with the large enrollment, and managing the numerous instructors in the course are a few examples. This paper discusses the processes we have implemented to address these and other management challenges at the U.S. Air Force Academy.
