Computer-Tailored Student Support in Introductory Physics
Large introductory courses are at a disadvantage in providing personalized guidance and advice for students during the semester. We introduce E2Coach (an Expert Electronic Coaching system), which allows instructors to personalize their communication with thousands of students. We describe the E2Coach system, the nature of the personalized support it provides, and the features of the students wh...
متن کاملStudent Interpretations of Phylogenetic Trees in an Introductory Biology Course
Phylogenetic trees are widely used visual representations in the biological sciences and the most important visual representations in evolutionary biology. Therefore, phylogenetic trees have also become an important component of biology education. We sought to characterize reasoning used by introductory biology students in interpreting taxa relatedness on phylogenetic trees, to measure the prev...
متن کاملUnderstanding Student Answers In Introductory Physics Courses
Many assigned problems in introductory physics courses require the student to formulate a system of algebraic equations that describe a physical situation. An Intelligent Tutoring System (ITS) designed to help must be able to identify which physical quantity each student variable represents, and which fundamental laws each of her equations incorporates. Many ITS’s predefine the variables ([4,2]...
متن کاملExperiences Evaluating Student Attitudes in an Introductory Programming Course
This experience report describes using a validated survey instrument to measure changes in student attitudes toward computing across a CS1 course. The choice of the survey instrument is described, with links to online resources for several existing instruments. The setup of a within-subjects design using preand post-tests at each end of a semester-long programming course allows changes in attit...

An introductory programming course that is both an introduction to the major and a university-wide distribution course can suffer from a large disparity of interest as well as ability. Motivating all students to participate improves outcomes. At St. Lawrence University we have found that competitions are fun and engaging for students while providing a vehicle for both individual and collaborati...
