. As a result, in 200-level programming classes, faculty membersspent lots of time reviewing fundamental programming concepts that had already been taught inthe introductory course. Another observation is that students often procrastinated taking theirhigher-level programming courses because of unfavorable experiences in the introductory course.Based on the above observations, the goals of this project were to: (1) improve students’performance, (2) help students retain their programming knowledge/skills, (3) motivate studentsin learning programming, (4) improve classroom engagement, and (5) give students a betterprogramming experience in the introductory course so that they will not defer enrolling in 200-level programming classes.Research
