However, the abstract nature of the concepts can often be difficult for students to grasp. This problem becomes aggravated in an international setting with students from diverse academic backgrounds, resulting in some students losing interest and failing to follow along. This paper describes our novel approach to teach data structures for Computing undergraduates from 30 African countries at African Leadership College (ALC) in Mauritius in partnership with Glasgow Caledonian University, UK. The blended learning program uses a student led \"flipped classroom\" approach, requiring students to view lecture and supporting material online prior to engaging in on-campus seminar session with the tutor. Peer instruction is a key component of the flipped approach. In seminars, students worked on group based problem-solving activities in data structures supported by the tutor. The students devised their solutions on white boards taking ownership of the problem, became motivated to discuss their ideas freely, and to select a group solution. The group solutions were then shared with the other groups and peer reviewed, led by the tutor. This collaborative learning environment was observed to facilitate discussions, and students' contributions and performance in later assessments offered evidence of understanding of core subject concepts.","PeriodicalId":120434,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 8th Computer Science Education Research Conference","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124143563","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For this project, the whole class collaborate to design and implement a single, reasonably large software system. We believe that the class project has the potential to provide an intensive learning experience for our students and may have several educational benefits. We investigate the impact of the class project on student academic achievement and project success in terms of the quality of the code of the developed system. We gauge the impact of the class project by analysing differences the academic performance of the students in the course. Further, we analyzed the differences in assessment marks assigned to projects. We also evaluate the code quality by observing variations in selected software code metrics of the source code of the software systems delivered by the students. Although the results are inconclusive, we feel the class project provides a unique opportunity for students to get hands-on experience in the development of real-world software for industry.","PeriodicalId":120434,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 8th Computer Science Education Research Conference","volume":"191 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131582208","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It can help students to learn and engage with the quality criteria of their subject, and to see their own work as others see it. However, they may have numerous anxieties about fairness, about any extra work involved, about their abilities to assess fellow students, and to be assessed by them. Twenty-one students were assigned a task to rank some designs from a previous class. They put the designs in order of value so that they only had to judge the designs in comparison to each other, and not to some imagined universal standard that they hardly know. The assignment allowed students to give their answers both formally, as a ranked order; and textually, so they could explain and justify their rankings. This mix permits automatic marking schemes to be applied, and we tested two. One is a standard, used quite commonly in multi-choice tests because it is simple. The second refines it, intending to give more accurate results for ranked questions. Results confirm this ranking task is shown to be viable. It gets over some of the problems with peer assessment, and gives students a new learning experience with its own set of advantages.","PeriodicalId":120434,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 8th Computer Science Education Research Conference","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126453652","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
