Additionally, the two sections shared laboratory sections 3and used the same graded assignments and tests. Results of this study again showed that studentsin classes with CCEs score higher on the CS knowledge test than students in non-CCE classes,further supporting the hypothesis that CCEs contribute to learning core CS concepts.Recent Findings The most recent extension of our project is the investigation of the impact of CCEs
