When CS 1 is biology 1: crossdisciplinary collaboration as CS context

We present the curriculum, deployment, and initial evaluation of a course, BioCS1, designed to serve as CS1 and Biology1 for majors of either (or both) disciplines. Cotaught by professors in both fields, BioCS1 interweaves fundamental biology and computational topics in a manner similar to contextual approaches
