programming. To my knowledge, the new ENGR 102 curriculum corrects for this by a) teaching in Python, and b) teaching basics of coding a specific language. I believe this to be a much more appropriate approach to teaching coding, especially for students who had no prior experience, such as myself” [6]. • “I think ENGR 102 was a great course to ease students who don’t have any coding experience into coding. There reason for this is because this course solely focused on coding. I took ENGR 111 [previous first semester course] and in this course, we were taught more than just coding which made it hard to just focus on learning that new skill” [6].Graduate teaching assistants

These cases have the greatest variety in rationale behind them, but generally centerupon what “acceptable” collaboration is. For instance, we ran into many cases where groups ofstudents had very similar code. Upon speaking to parties involved, the following story mightevolve: - Student A and B worked together closely, but have clearly different submissions via comments and style, and report each other as collaborators. - Student C, in a panic, asks Student B for help after Student B submitted their project. Their submission is very similar to Student B, and thus Student A, but they do not report working with Student A
