The scores for the first practicumand final course grade were therefore collected for the remaining students that completed thecourse (N = 104). Figure 5 (a and b) represent scores based on the year of high school graduationand prior computer science experience (note: students that graduated in 2016 or earlier wereassigned the year 2016).
