(B) Some are interested in pure science and/or are planning to pursue other scientific fields (e.g., medicine). These students sometimes have little interest in the bots and programming but may do well in learning theory and taking tests.Unfortunately, most students have never done any programming or worked with spreadsheets.Some students struggle with programming beyond simple commands. Programs of any length,which required use of several subroutines and “IF…THEN” logic, were a struggle for many ofthe students.
