design their class.Among the multiple ways to reveal collaborative problem-solving processes, temporal submissionpatterns is one that is more scalable and generalizable in Computer Science education. In thispaper, we provide a temporal analysis of a large dataset of students’ submissions to collaborativelearning assignments in an upper-level database course offered at a large public university. Thelog data was collected from an online assessment and learning system, containing the timestampsof each student’s submissions to a problem on the collaborative assignment. Each submission waslabeled as quick (Q), medium (M), or slow (S) based on its duration and whether it was shorter orlonger than the 25th and 75th percentile. Sequential compacting and
) creating examples and projectsis one delivery mechanism but there could be a steep learning curve student will encounter [27], 6) currentdemands from larger employers who may not all use these techniques, and lastly [28]; 7) Creating newtracks is possible but requires new resources and faculty to teach them. Given these benefits and challenges,many engineering students are still often pushed to take computer science course(s) to compensate for theirlack of in-department offerings. This research looks to help overcome several aspects of these barriers inthe discipline specific domains of architectural engineering (AE) and material science and engineering(MATSE). Both fields were selected given their renewed emphasis and need for more data skills as
classified below as subtopics: 1. Established identity in CS with themselves and others. 2. Personal experiences and challenges in CS that are gender and/or race related. 3. Psycho-social characteristics experienced. 4. Personal feedback/recommendations for promoting equity, inclusion, and representation of black women in CS.Each subtopic and corresponding findings are discussed below.4.1 Established Identity in CS with Themselves & OthersFindings for this classification were based on five key questions that were asked during the focusgroup sessions: Q1: Do the participant(s) exhibit an identity towards computer science? Q2: Do the participant(s) consider themselves as computer scientists? Q3: Are they proud to be
noted as one persistent attribute that students exhibit during theseexperiences. For instance, one aspect of Behroozi et al.’s work [7] compared anxiety levels thattheir participants exhibited while conducting mock technical interviews either in a public settingor in a private setting. It was determined that participants who conducted technical interviews ina public setting exhibited higher levels of anxiety than their counterparts who were in a privatesetting. Similarly, Hall and Gosha [23] conducted a study that measured the correlation ofanxiety and preparation in a technical interview that targeted junior and senior CS majors at aSoutheastern Historically Black College/University (HBCU) in the United States. Keyinformation collected during
engineering educators to research more holisticstudent networks than previously studied. Results of these future studies may yield moregeneralizable and accurate conclusions about which social practices help students succeed.Acknowledgements This material is based upon work supported by the second author's National ScienceFoundation Graduate Research Fellowship under Grant No. DGE1745048.

Student responses to open-endedquestions were scored manually by two trained raters in accordance with Grohs et al.’s publishedscoring guide [15]. Scores for each response were assigned and rationales recorded. An initialsample of 20% of the responses were scored individually by each rater. These scores were thencompared across raters to develop a consensus for interpreting student-generated text [16] andscoring guidelines normalized across raters. The remaining 80% of responses were split evenlybetween the two raters.

Practices and Processes,” Hollylynne S. Lee etel. developed a framework using the work of statistics educators and researchers to investigatehow data science practices can inform work in K–12 education. Their framework buildsfundamental practices and processes from data science [19]. The math field has contributed to data science research via the Common Core StateStandards Initiative (CCSSI), which is a joint project to develop common K–12 reading andmath standards designed to prepare students for college and careers. The CCSSI includes a datascience section for elementary students that focuses on data collection, data type, function,analysis type, and sample [20]. Similarly, the Launch Years Data Science Course Frameworkprovides broad
offering online sections of courses to students that want the flexibilitythat they facilitate, if their primary concern is student performance. We found no statistically sig-nificant difference in the overall performance of students that elect to take a course online relativeto those that elect to take it in person. Taking courses online may, however, have a substantialnegative impact on a student’s sense of belonging. This effect is particularly pronounced for un-derrepresented minority students and first generation students, but not present in women.References [1] B. Bizot and S.

institutions are beginning toimplement technical interview practices into the classroom as assignments, group projects,warm-ups, class exercises, and dedicating a class to the topic. For instance, literature shows thatexposing students to technical interview exercises in their Data Structure course(s) is one of themost effective methods. One reason being that students are exposed to the process early on but itbecomes natural for them to think as interviewees based on the construct of these particularcourses. Likewise, literature suggests that introducing the technical interview process early in astudent’s computational development could better gauge the overall effectiveness of thisemployed initiative. Yet, the number of studies that reflect such

This paper proposes a Deep Learning NeuralNetworks approach that helps students select their best-fit specialization in a specific category.Deep learning is a subset of machine learning, but it can determine whether a prediction isaccurate through its own neural network- no human help is required [1]. The proposed systemwill use a dataset that contains student data that is related to the general education coursesrequired for their program, such as grades, the number of hours spent on each course's materials,the opinion of the student about the content of each course, and the course(s) that the studentenjoyed the most.

Following the lecturesessions, the students appeared to have improved their knowledge and understanding of thesubject, as evidenced by the rise in the average value of each question in the post-surveycompared to the pre-survey. This may be ascribed to the thorough lecture materials and practicallab exercises that were made available to the students, which helped to reinforce the ideas andprovide them with hands-on experience using the knowledge acquired.
