Ten simple rules for designing and running a computing minor for bio/chem students
Fig 5
(A) Demographics of biology major (left), students in CSC 306 (the first class of the PINC minor, middle) and CS majors (right). Approximately 48% of biology majors are black or Latinx, compared to 24% in the CS major. The students in the PINC class CSC 306 reflect the demographics of the biology program; 46% of them are black or Latinx. Data from SFSU Institutional Research, based on 186 undergraduate students who took CSC 306 between 2016 and 2021. *American Indian and Hawaiian and Pacific Islander students are present in this data but are less than 2% of the population. Thus, they are present within the bar plot but the numerical label is not present in the figure. (B) Demographics of biology major (left), students in CSC 306 (the first class of the PINC minor, middle) and CS majors (right). Approximately 70% of biology majors identify as women, compared to 19.2% in the CS major. Approximately 61.3% of the students in the PINC class CSC 306 identify as women. Data from SFSU Institutional Research, based on 186 undergraduate students who took CSC 306 between 2016 and 2021. *Nonbinary students are present in this data, but are less than 1% of the population. Thus, they are present within the bar plot but the numerical label is not present in the figure. In addition, students who identify as nonbinary may not be listed as such in the university data base.
