The room contains 21 computers and registration is limited to 20 students. The students interact simultaneously with their computer, the instructor's computer, the blackboard, and their fellow students. We designed the room so that no computer is between the student and the instructor. It has been truly delightful to teach in the Computer Classroom this semester. (I taught Calculus I and a Basic Analysis course.)
