Thisquestion was utilized in the Fall, 2013, Spring 2014 and Fall 2014 semesters. Forty four studentsin the Tegrity feedback sections and 66 students in the Standard Written feedback sectionsanswered this particular question. It was phrased as follows: Page 26.279.8Answer the following question(s) about feedback and circle all that apply: a. I understood the feedback my instructor gave me. b.

students’ limited programming experience, students are critical ofSECs and require convincing arguments that the taught SECs are relevant.Our pedagogical approach to address these challenges is (a) to run a lab-centered course and(b) to let students see the “real thing” as often as possible.To (a): Lectures introduce concepts and ideas that can later be experienced in carefullydesigned lab sessions. In the labs, we focus on SECs rather than programming by providingstudents with Java programs to be manipulated with tools. Topics covered include: codecommenting with Javadoc, coding standards with Checkstyle, debugging in Eclipse,automated testing with JUnit, test coverage with Emma, automated GUI testing usingsoftware robots, and extreme programming

It should be noted that in this paper the italic text represents what the author presents in hislectures in the class. Imagine that there are two professors, Dr. X and Dr. Y, teaching the same course, e.g. AppliedThermodynamics (!). At the end of the semester, both classes end up with the average grade B inthe course. Which professor did a better job? If we just look at the final results and consider them as the parameter to evaluate theperformance of the professors, then both professors are doing equally good (or bad!) job. Thisapproach resembles the first law of thermodynamics analysis or the energy
