large, end-of-semester project, online courses should offer many opportunities for quickfeedback. Having many small stakes assignments that continually build upon each other puts theonus on students to stay engaged and current with all course material. Researchers recommendbreaking large assignments into smaller segments; this allows for faster grading and morefeedback to students. Additionally, rubrics and grading schemes should be transparent to studentsso they fully understand expectations [5, pp. 179-182]. Another way to incorporate feedback isthrough gamification. Incorporating game-like qualities into online courses provides timelyfeedback and keeps student engagement high. The best way to gamify a course is to build arunning narrative

this research has focused only on students' difficultiesand only after some formal instruction [1], [2]. Constructivist theories encourage us to considerhow we can help students construct their own knowledge with the experience and knowledgethey bring to our classrooms [3]. The overarching research project had many goals, however,this paper will focus on just two main data-driven goals. The first is to understand whatproductive knowledge experienced students (students who had taken at least threeprogramming courses) bring to code reading that complete novices (students who have neverprogrammed or studied programming before) may not have yet as measured through code-reading accuracy, total reading times, and fixation heatmaps. The second goal

Additionally, as vacancies increase, so too does the need for studentswith graduate degrees (master’s and doctoral level) in the field [4]. However, in the United States(U.S.) participation in graduate schools is more commonly from international students. Accordingto the survey by the Computing Research Association in 2019, almost 70% of the master’s degreesin computer sciences and 80% in engineering were awarded to international students [5].Meanwhile, 62% of the Ph.D.’s in computer sciences were awarded to international students,followed by 67% in engineering [5].
