I have also not (yet) removed afinal exam in the course, however, I think there is a case to be made for replacing the final examaltogether with BYOP.[21]Though BYOP requires more investment by the instructor the benefits to this approach areconsiderable: • Increased engagement • Continued engagement beyond the first programming course • Students strengthen their learning in material that they need to accomplish their project, thus “catching up” in a sense • Students learn material not directly covered in class • Underrepresented students can feel supported because projects they are introduced are validated as being worth doing • Continuous learning beyond the course through

Students to Navigate Technical InterviewsAbstractObtaining a computing position can entail hiring practices distinct from other domains in thatthey frequently involve technical interviews, an approach which emphasizes real-time evaluationof programming abilities. Apart from requiring that job candidates find the correct solution, theyare also encouraged to find one that is efficient and optimal while also speaking through theirthinking. Although computing students may be familiar with the theoretical and foundationaltopics necessary to succeed, traversing the employment process may be particularly daunting andnecessitate immense preparation. To better understand how education may enhance students’readiness, we conducted a focus

Among these women, those who identifiedas Black and those who identified as Hispanic or Latinx most often switched from a Businessmajor, at 31.5% and 29.4%, respectively.

This decreasing trend isexpected as the pool of students who are required to take CS1, CS2, and CS3 decreases throughoutthis course sequence for non-CST majors. This jump in enrollment is demonstrated in Figure 1. Itmust be pointed out that the pattern of higher enrollment for CS1 in the Fall semesters and lowerenrollment for CS1 in the Spring semesters was a typical pattern before COVID-19. It looks likethis pattern holds in post-COVID-19 terms as well. However, further analysis beyond Spring 2022is necessary for reliable
