Students working for students on programming courses
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper we offer a report on a university-level programming laboratory course that has been designed on top of a programming library. The course enforces soft skills, such as code inspection and team working, sharpens implementation skills and creates a bridge between introductory, language-specific instruction and senior-year full-blown programming projects that are usually large but not attending to soft skills. Quite as importantly, it has also delivered a working research tool. 2006 Published by Elsevier Ltd.

A multi-national, multi-institutional study of assessment of programming skills of first-year CS students Report by the ITiCSE 2001 Working Group on Assessment of Programming Skills of First-year CS Students
In computer science, an expected outcome of a student’s education is programming skill. This working group investigated the programming competency students have as they complete their first one or two courses in computer science. In order to explore options for assessing students, the working group developed a trial assessment of whether students can program. The underlying goal of this work wa...
متن کاملPython and Roles of Variables in Introductory Programming: Experiences from Three Educational Institutions
Students often find that learning to program is hard. Introductory programming courses have high drop-out rates and students do not learn to program well. This paper presents experiences from three educational institutions where introductory programming courses were improved by adopting Python as the first programming language and roles of variables as an aid in understanding program behavior. ...
متن کاملUsing Students' Programming Behavior to Predict Success in an Introductory Mathematics Course
Computer science students starting their studies at our university often fail their first mandatory mathematics course, as they are not required to have a strong background in mathematics. Failing can also be partly explained by the need to adjust to a new environment and new working practices. Here, we are looking for indicators in students’ working practices that could be used to point out st...
