D) .IF OSffiKCCg Too large to be contained within the Sci- ence Department, a new department, direct- ed by Dr. Charles Hixon, was formed at Woodward Academy to house computer science. Computer Science was originally of- fered as an elective in the Upper School Science Department However, with the in- creasing popularity of computets. Wood- ward formed a department which would give students a more intense look at the use and function of various computers. The lab con- tains approximately 36 computers and acces- sories of different brands and models. Al- though young, the department has had an encouraging beginning as the response from both students and parents has been favor- able. At prese nt. Computer Science is only an elective in the Upper School. Each stu- dent in the eighth grade is required to take the basic course in Computer Science. Because various technological processes change and alter, the Computer Science De- partment is currently studying and devising additional courses to be added to the cur- riculum. This expansion insures that the Computer Science Department ' s overall goal that each student have a basic foundation and awareness of computer technology. ;.
