Education (NICE) Framework [1]. A list of secure coding practices wascompiled using two different resources: SEI CERT Coding Standard [2] and Open WebApplication Security Project (OWASP) [3]. The selected coding practices are applicable to C++and Java. Each secure coding practice is assigned a weight reflecting its importance and severity.We consider a set of 43 students’ programming assignments in C++ and Java, with all of thembeing anonymized for Personally Identifiable Information. Each assignment typically has differentcoding practices that are relevant, which is a result of the difference in requirements amongassignments. The problem description of each assignment is analyzed to determine the applicablesecure coding practices to each submitted

In their article, Kessel and Linn[1] claim that college admissions officers may be missing talented females if they are relyingheavily on ACT and SAT scores. Their article points out that “females report spending moretime reflecting on similarities among problems, organizing and linking their ideas, and review-ing material” and because of this, they tend to be less able to demonstrate speed and

Provocative subjects included: • Developing their awareness of their own views, assumptions and beliefs, and how they are shaped by their own culture. • Asking them questions like: what do you see as ”national” characteristics in your own country? Which “national” characteristic do you like and dislike in yourself? • Asking them to take an interest and read about their teammates’ country and culture, and start to consider the differences between cultures and customs, • Avoiding making judgements, but instead to collect information, by asking their teammates neutral questions and clarify meaning

There were no statistically significant beginning-of-semester differences by any assessment between the control and intervention sections byunpaired t-test. Further, the overall scores for end-of-course evaluations did not differ betweenthe semesters (p=0.46; effect size, Cohen’s d=0.02).Regardless of course section, control or intervention, there was a significant improvement by theend of the semester in the fluency, flexibility, and originality aspects of creativity (Table 1).These changes reflect those seen by us in a first-year engineering course with an authentic designexperience [1], though

and do not reflect a more complex spatial thinking. Reference [17] suggests thateducators and researchers should “look more broadly than psychometric tests of spatial ability toidentify components of spatial intelligence or adaptive spatial thinking.”There are several limitations in implementing this study. First, the assessment of the relationshipbetween the two test scores did not involve a pretest, and the data analysis in this study provideda snapshot of the relationship between the two test scores at the end of the study (posttest) only.This practice might justify the correlational analysis when two score sets are collected at thesame place and time, but there is a high possibility that students could develop spatial skillsduring the

In addition, about a fifth of students from the business ethics course believed thatthe lowest privacy should be set as the default level of privacy. However, this option wasselected by around 12% of computer science students. This finding shows that, computer sciencestudents were more cautious about the issue of privacy compared to their non-computer sciencepeers. This can be attributed to the knowledge computer science students possessed regarding theissue of privacy which was reflected in some of computer

My threats were focused mainly on my ability to self-teach myself when needed andgaining a sense of complacency. This summer was an opportunity to learn and fill knowledgegaps. I felt that if I was not constantly gaining experience, time was being wasted. This in turnpushed my opportunities. The constant desire to learn something new once I felt comfortablewith a certain aspect of my job was key to my knowledge base growing.

Simulationtechnologies and serious games have been demonstrated to foster active learning throughincreased engagement as opposed to the passive memorization typical of traditional teachingmethods (Dede and Lewis 1995).
