mitigated.Second, the question of “What language should we teach our course in?” is asked of CS1 andCS2 instructors all the time. Courses can and do change their language(s) of choice based on thechanging needs of students. While the findings here suggest that a change in language may notcreate many challenges to students in downstream classes, it is important to recall the limitationsof this study. Many students have self-selected into pathways that indicate they are stronglyprepared to pick up a new language without much trouble. Not all students will be able to do thiswith ease. Nor are computing languages structured in the same way. An AP student with abackground in Java may transition better to a course in C++ than a CS1 student with abackground in

theprograms. Some online programming classes can typically have hundreds ofstudents; if 30 assignments are given throughout the semester, this amounts to3000, 6000 or more programs to grade. That’s a lot of programs to grade, nomatter how many TAs there are. Thus, for students of large online courses to getthe practice that they need, some sort of grading automation is necessary.A common problem in computer science courses is the “cascadingmisunderstanding” phenomenon. If a student misunderstands a concept in an earlycourse, s/he may still pass and continue into later courses, compounding themisunderstanding semester after semester. A solution to this problem is a switchto a mastery learning model. With mastery learning, a student cannot move

It is also wellcited in the literature that since the 1980’s, US undergraduate writing centers have been serving agrowing population of ESL graduate students, which is the case at UI as well.77 This isproblematic because most peer tutors are undergraduates trained to meet undergraduate writingneeds and so graduate students who visit writing centers may not receive the kind of targetedassistance they need. In this study, GA’s generally rated a graduate writing center’seffectiveness in addressing the identified challenges lower than faculty did. Although notspecifically mentioned, perhaps GA’s who
