. Despite thebenefits of an approach teaching problem-solving skills first, the transition from pre-programming problem-solving courses to courses in which students should master a full-fledgeprogramming language remains a challenge 18, 22. This is reflected in the number of students(44%) who did not have an acceptable performance in either concepts or skills (Figures 4 and 5).Even though those students had passed a previous problem solving course, they find thetransition to a learning environment that uses a full-fledge programming language like Javadifficult.According to Mayer 17, in addition to the cognitive and metacognitive aspects of problemsolving, other aspects like motivation and engagement are also important determinants of studentsuccess

Although this situation wasconsidered, the students could not come up with a way to mitigate this confounding. Therefore,no further attempt to normalize the variable, besides compensate for lux to output, wasincorporated into the study. Finally, while the decreasing temperature throughout the course ofthe study likely had bearing on numerical outcomes, preliminary analysis suggested thatfactoring in the theoretical effect would not have altered the overall consensus of

Evaluation of Effectiveness. Engineering practitioners rate a sample of student papers using a simple 1 to 5 scale from “not effective” to “effective” - or, as translated by one practitioner, from “horrible” to “hire this person!” They are given basic information about the task and asked to evaluate based on what they know to be effective writing in workplace practice. Scores for pre- and post-intervention papers are compared statistically with Mann-Whitney U or Wilcoxon Matched Pairs tests. 4. Perceptions of Usefulness. Students are asked to complete a short survey about their perceptions of their learning and the materials’ usefulness, or – if instructors prefer – to write open-ended reflections on their learning.

0.783 for Section 002.This is likely due to the makeup of students in each section and the time difference betweenwhen the two sections met for class. The lower performing section was the earlier 8 AM classwhen more students were apt to miss class, show up late, and be less engaged during the classlectures. The importance of the difference between the two sections is reflected in the unevendistribution of homework assignments. The section that performed better was assessed twicewith paper homework while the section that performed worse was assessed twice withWeBWorK homework. This would indicate the difference between paper-based homework andWeBWorK-based homework may be larger than directly indicated by the score averages weobtained. If only
