Author(s):
Berges, Marc
Abstract:
In 2008, a working group in the computer science department at Technische Universität München School of Education piloted an optional 2 {\textonehalf} day experience that took place just before the first undergraduate lecture in computer science. This experimental project was a unique attempt to assess prior knowledge and programming skills for new CS students. The research team used item response theory on source code for 21 fundamental coding concepts in an attempt to assess novice programmin...     »
