- Gale, A, Andreae, P, Brown, J, and Tempero, E (1997). Computer Science retention and recruitment at VUW, CS-TR-97/4
This paper recounts our experience in addressing recruitment and retention of women in our introductory Computer Science course for intending majors. In the past we have concentrated on retention, and present the background to these reports, together with our results. We then relate our experience in recruitment over this period and currently, and discuss the possible relationships between recruitment, participation, and retention.
- Brown, J, Andreae, P, Biddle, R, and Tempero, Ewan (1996). Women in Introductory Computer Science: Experience at Victoria University of Wellington, CS-TR-96-18, 1996
This paper documents efforts that the department has made to support women students between 1991 and the 1996. Our major goal has been to reduce the high withdrawal rate of women students in our entry level course in computer science. We describe the approaches that have been taken to address this concern, and present the data which has been collected to track the results of our efforts. Our data suggests that providing a gender neutral content is not enough to ensure that men and women will retain similarly. In this paper we suggest policies which we feel may be beneficial in achieving similar male and female retention rate.
