Re: Languages used
Python is widely used in scientific computing. It should be on the list. Omitting it means you are going to get a lot of "other".
Mathematica probably should be there, too.
PL/1 is an odd inclusion. It is most widely know for business programming, and never really took off outside of mainframes.
APL would be good for the kind of things needed for this class (at least so far).
