instance, it is assumed that students learn debugging by havingexperience with debugging [13]. However, a study by Whalley and colleagues revealed thatstudents’ reflections on their experiences with debugging tend to be negative [14]. In this study,students expressed that exploring strategies such as print statements frequently will make themmiss the program’s general idea, forcing them not to follow a methodological approach [14].Although debugging is a challenging task, it is also an essential skill that students must master toacquire other computational thinking skills [15]. Consequently, exploration of students’debugging skills is essential to develop teaching and learning strategies that fully explode theiralready-in-place preferences and

Science Outstanding Mentor Award. ©American Society for Engineering Education, 2023 Labor Based Grading in Computer Science - A Student Centered PracticeAbstractInnovation in teaching in STEM fields was explored widely during the COVID pandemic in 2020. Thispaper describes the adaptation of labor based grading for computer science courses. Labor based gradinghas been developed for language and writing courses by shifting the grading focus from summative examsto formative and reflective assessments. The method was tested in several computer science courses withtwo different instructors during the 2020-2021 academic year. Students were surveyed to understand howthey perceived grading methods

Students alsoresponded to the reflection prompt “What was the most surprising or interesting part of thisactivity.” The responses were analyzed for common themes, which were the usefulness ofvisualizing memory in understanding the concepts of stack frames and buffer overflow, theprevalence of buffer overflow vulnerabilities in publicly available code, and how easy it is toexploit a buffer overflow vulnerability. Thus, this assignment shows promise in helping studentsto understand a difficult concept, and in emphasizing the importance of avoiding buffer overflowvulnerabilities.IntroductionSoftware vulnerabilities in commercial products

computing is the reality of the computing education “culture” in the U.S.being primarily one-note (e.g., white-men)—including faculty, students, and professionals—which instigates perpetual curricular and non-curricular hurdles for members of non-majoritygroups to overcome. To attain their fit within computing, students must navigate the computerscience culture by adopting norms and values that are reflective of the majority-group [22]. Notbeing able to adopt these norms and values impacts students’ fit within computing contexts and,ultimately, their retention.Culture is a compelling explanation for underrepresentation in computer science. This identifiedone-note cultural concern in computing contexts where non-majority computing students

]. With the increase in research publications, the focus on impact indicators has broadened,with citation counts remaining a widely accepted measure. Yet, they are not direct measures ofquality [7]. Despite controversies around these metrics, they continue to be used in academicdecision making. An additional metric that is being used more for evaluating scholarship are downloadcounts [8, 9]. Using downloads reflects a broader view of research impact, considering the actualusage and dissemination of scholarly works. While there is a correlation between downloadmetrics and citations [10], there are situations where this is not the case. For example, papers withfewer citations might be extensively downloaded and used by practitioners

DiscussionThis research aims to examine students’ in situ demonstration of the cognitive and behavioralskills associated with algorithmic thinking in an introductory computing course in engineering.Our findings indicate that while students are frequently able to produce working code that solvesa wide array of computing problems, their submissions do not always reflect the cognitive skills,such as algorithmic thinking, that are central learning goals in introductory CS education. Thesefindings lead us to question the utility and appropriateness of autograders for assessing andevaluating student learning, particularly as it relates to complex cognitive skills in CS education.Existing research suggests instructor feedback supports students’ learning beyond

Institutions could implement "bridge programs" thatprovide intensive preparatory support for students transitioning between academic stages,whether from high school to undergraduate programs or from undergraduate to graduate studies.The rise of external online courses as a supplementary educational tool reflects the inadequaciesof formal CS programs in meeting students' needs.
