Where did the Drivers Exercise come from?
While the exercise and this website was the work of Clint Tuttle, it is critical to point out that none of this would have been possible without the tremendous support of the UT Austin Provost Teaching Fellows program which provided funding, mentoring, and constant encouragement. Clint Tuttle was selected as a Fellow in Summer 2017 to serve a 2-year term with the goal of creating this exercise and disseminating to as many UT students and affiliates as possible. Over 3000 people in and outside of UT took the exercise during those 2 years. Even though Clint’s term has been completed, he remains a part of the PTF program and fortunately, this exercise and site will persist forever for future students, advisors, faculty, staff, and people of the Austin community.
