Automation in CS1 with the Factoring Problem Generator
As the field of computer science continues to grow, the number of students enrolled in related programs will grow as well. Though one-on-one tutoring is one of the more effective means of teaching, computer science instructors will have less and less time to devote to individual students. To …

An analysis of pattern usage in CS1 courses
… chunks have been referred to as patterns in CS1 literature and pattern-oriented instruction has been proposed. This thesis builds on the existing literature by analyzing instructor solutions to the assessments of a diverse collection of seven CS1 courses to identify the patterns that students …

CloudSpace: A Web Development Environment for CS1 Courses
Since a massive decline of computer science graduates in 2002, computer science departments have been unable to reach previous graduation rates. In wake of this dramatic loss of graduates, researchers have been searching for the reasons students are avoiding computer science and choosing other …

Predicting and Improving Performance on Introductory Programming Courses (CS1)
… rates on introductory programming courses (CS1). Numerous studies have developed models for predicting success in CS1, however there is little evidence on their ability to generalise or on their use beyond early investigations. In addition, they are seldom followed up with interventions, …

Stress Levels of CS1 Students During Programming- Measurement and a Cause and Effect Analysis
… students in an introductory programming course (CS1) at CSU has been explored. Introductory programming course has a high attrition rate nationwide. A project was developed to investigate whether students feel stress during programming . This thesis also gives whether that stress is correlated …

A multidimensional approach for analyzing variants of code writing questions in a CS1 course
… in code writing questions, instructors of CS1 courses with asynchronous exams can use the strategy of question variants, being manually written questions to be selected at random to assess the same learning goal. In order to create these variants, currently the instructors have to rely on …

Characterization of a Novel Receptor CS1 in Human Lymphocytes; Studies in Natural Killer Cells and B-Lymphocytes
… of this study was to investigate the roles of CS1 on human lymphocytes. The molecular and functional characterization of CS1 receptor in the natural killer (NK) cells and B lymphocytes was investigated. CS1 (CRACC, novel Ly9) is a novel member of the CD2 family receptor expressed on natural …

Lessons learnt developing and deploying grading mechanisms for EiPE code-reading questions in CS1 classes
… system for these EiPE responses on an exam in CS105, a large-enrollment CS1 course at the University of Illinois, finding that the auto-grader has an accuracy similar to that of TA’s who teach the course. We study allowing students to attempt an EiPE question multiple times (without penalty …

A Study of Non-computing Majors' Growth Mindset, Self-Efficacy and Perceived CS Relevance in CS1
… In this thesis, we surveyed non-majors in CS1 at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo during the early and late weeks of the quarter to gain insights on their growth mindset, their self-efficacy and the perceived relevance of the course to their lives. In our analysis, we discovered that non-majors’ …

The Effect of Whiteboarding on Student Self-Efficacy in the Computer Science Classroom
… struggle in Introductory Computer Science (CS1) and fail or dropout of the class. A lack of CS self-efficacy - the belief that the individual can complete a task - is frequently the cause of this failure to succeed in CS1. Solutions have been proposed to improve student self-efficacy in CS1. …

Automated Environment Diagram Assessment for Introductory CS Education
… of execution and drawings are often used in CS1 courses. This thesis describes a tool that enables students to construct diagrams with a drag-and-drop and submit for automatic assessment. Students instantly receive hints to help them correct misunderstandings, allowing even large courses to …

Representations of Relative Value Coding in the Orbitofrontal Cortex and Amygdala
… or large US (second block). The presentation of CS1 predicted delivery of a medium US in all blocks. Thus CS1 corresponded to the "better" trial type in blocks 1 and 3, but not 2. Anticipatory licking behavior indicated that the monkey adapted its behavior depending upon the relative amount of …

Higher Order Conditioning of the Eyeblink Reflex
… schedules, where conventional pairings of a CS1 and the US were interleaved with pairings of a different CS2 and the CS1 (but no US). Consistent results were obtained from both sets of experiments: some subjects learned to respond to the CS2, but more weakly than to the CS1. Strikingly the …
