. She worked on the PowerEN Technology, a blur between general purpose and networking processors and hardware accelerators. She identified and studied workloads at the edge of the network that required high-throughput and fast deep-packet processing. Since 2012, her research has been focused on Computer Science Education, especially in the area of peer collaboration, scaling techniques for large courses, auto-graders and learning analytics. She is also working on software that can be used for teaching and learning. She is investigating techniques and best practices on broadening participation in Computer Science. Women and minorities need to be more involved in tech innovation as companies and teams perform

For research question 3,students reported that oral exams were very stressful prior to taking the first one but did not findsubsequent oral exams stressful.MOTIVATIONIt has been shown that higher perceived teacher support and school belonging is correlated withless school misconduct [1]. The same study also showed that higher peer attachment is alsoassociated with higher rates of school misconduct. The most common reason students cite forchoosing to commit academic misconduct is grade pressure [2]. However, with large andincreasing enrollments in introductory programming courses, standardized assessment will be therequired for the foreseeable future.One strategy that has been
