Table 5.3.1 contains some of the questions from the actual assessment. Itis important to note that question seven, regarding the illustration of sequential operation, onlycontained graphical illustrations while all the remaining questions were related to real codestatements in one of three programming languages: C++, Python or Logo.

A five-point Likert scale was used (1: Strongly Disagree, 2: Disagree, 3: Neutral, 4:Agree, 5: Strongly Agree). Students were asked to assess how well the outcomes were met. Thetotal number of students who completed the survey was 21.

The use of a graphic organizer is expected to be helpful because approximately 80%of engineering students are visual learners [27, Table 1].2) Learning objectivesFor each homework assignment, laboratory exercise, and exam, students are provided with atable mapping each problem to the appropriate course learning objective(s).
