. Factors like gender and prior programmingexperience have been studied and linked to students’ success, but there is little an instructor cando to change them. As the enrollments continue to increase and diversify, it will be useful forinstructors to know what type of course design is effective for which category of students. Thelab component of the course provides additional practice to students, but less is known about theusefulness of the lab practice in students’ success. We are interested in understanding theeffectiveness of lab practice in improving a students’ learning outcomes in CS1 courses,especially in the context of prior programming experience.

The lesson seems to be “hands on is best, even if hands are not onthe ‘correct’ equipment.”Student engagement seems also improved by an executive decision made by the students’instructors: since there has been no very clear message about how the power will be used,students are free to select their own use – with the caveat of a centralized use point for all powercreated. This caveat is a work-around so that other uses of the power can be implemented later.Timeline of this project is roughly as follows:• Fall 2017, Freshman first semester: The task this semester was to define the project.

Another interesting effect for the twopedagogies in Fall and Spring 2009, which used contextualized concept mini-lectures andactivities, was that course dropout rate was lowered and course retention improved to 95%. Thiswas an increase from 89% in 2002, 86% in 2003 and 82% in 2007. While all active learningpedagogies were better than passive lecturing for achieving conceptual change, differentcategories of Taber's misconception origins were more effectively addressed by different activelearning pedagogies.
