compositionprocess in the context of the writing-as-a-way-of-learning movement.2. Evolution of Computer-Mediated Peer Review (CMPR) SystemsDespite proven benefits, integrating effective peer-review into a course requires much effort.Using computers to facilitate the process of peer-review was a logical progression. Early peerresponse systems made use of email exchanges among student reviewers. With digital advancesin the 1990s, CMPR systems – such as MUCH (Many Using and Creating Hypermedia, 1994) –automated allocation of files for review, stored responses, calculated results, and gave access topeer feedback.9 Also, Eschenbach exploited web-enabled software to integrate e-assessment inan engineering design course.10In the 2000s, increasing use of computers

undergraduate core curriculum. This allowed us to consider the characteristicsof the students who enrolled in a freshman-level CS course (N=31 students) to identify assetsthey bring from their diverse life experiences that we might build upon in teaching them. Wesought student perceptions of existing curricular modules, in terms of ownership and creativity.Students completed pre-course surveys about their CS interests, beliefs, prior knowledge andexperiences, along with demographics. They completed a brief survey to evaluate some of themodules. We examined descriptive statistics, then conducted tests of difference to identifystudents’ assets. We explored contrasts between 1) first-generation college students and theirtraditional peers; and 2) students

Dr. Zhao has authored a research monograph titled: ”Building Dependable Distributed Systems” published by Scrivener Publishing, an imprint of John Wiley and Sons. Furthermore, Dr. Zhao published over 150 peer-reviewed papers on fault tolerant and dependable systems (three of them won the best paper award), computer vision and motion analysis, physics, and education. Dr. Zhao’s research is supported in part by the US National Science Foundation, the US Department of Transportation, Ohio State Bureau c American

CS1 and CS2 coursesusing test-driven learning (TDL) and test-driven development (TDD) methods [Frezza '02,Edwards '03, Janzen and Saiedian '06, Desai, Janzen et al. '09, Dvornik, Janzen et al. '11, Clarke,Pava et al. '12, Clarke, Davis et al. '14]. TDL is an approach that is used to teach computerprogramming that integrates automated unit tests throughout the CS and SE curriculum, and TDDis a disciplined development approach that is used with programmers or learners to write anautomated test then the code to make the test pass. These tests are usually small, testing only onemethod, and written with a unit testing framework such as JUnit. Other findings [S. Elbaum, S.Person et al. '07, Desai, Janzen et al. '09, Schaub '09] propose similar

student’s specified skills, in addition to each student’s level of interest ina particular project. This is the period when students are expected to form teams for the CapstoneDesign course so that they can begin writing and submitting bids for various projects of interest.By gauging the mutual interest of other students in various projects as well as seeing whether theyhave complementary skill sets, students can reach out to these students via alternative means suchas email or in-person to discuss opportunities for team building and formation.Finally, as a team, students submit bids for projects they are interested in and assign a priorityrank for each of their bids, which ranks their willingness to take on a particular project. Thesebids are then
