than on learning activities in general. A collaborativequiz is one based on the idea of paired programming, a technique that has become well-receivedin computer science. This type of quiz requires the pair of students to program together, usingone computer to turn in one final solution. The second method, a cooperative quiz, allowsstudents to collaborate as much or as little as they prefer. For a cooperative quiz, students musteach use their own computer to write and submit their own solution, but any collaboration withtheir partner is allowed. To account for student preferences for active or independent learning,these strategies were also guided by how students are paired. To do this, the Felder-Silvermanlearning style inventory was used to

The entire team willbe responsible for ensuring its completeness and organization. The submission of the designprojects is mandatory. Completion of the prototype is a requirement of this course, which isdefined as the building, testing, and evaluation of the prototype. Additionally, each student will berequired to maintain an engineering logbook of the efforts on the project, keeping track of thetime spent, the tasks being worked on, etc. The logbook is submitted to the instructor at the timeof the final examination. Peer evaluations also are used for assigning grades, which increasescooperative learning 8 .The major

The homework problems generally require fewer than 5 lines of codeto answer a homework problem relating to a single programming concept (e.g. define a variable,write an expression comparing two variables, write an if statement), whereas the projects ask thestudent to write a program that accomplishes a specific task requiring blocks of code that can beup to 30 lines long.The comparison being made takes account of two separate semesters of the course, Fall 2016 andFall 2017. In 2016, the programming component of the course was a 6-week portion of thecourse with Chapters 1-6.

Essentially, boundary objects are phenomena (i.e., information or knowledge)represented and/or understood in different ways by different participants (i.e., participants whohave varied experiences, varied perspectives, and associate the objects with varied meanings).
