Current Institution: University of Technology Sydney
Fellowship: ALTC Associate Teaching Fellowship at University of Technology Sydney
Fellowship Duration: 2007 - 2010
This Fellowship builds on earlier independent work of Lister and Edwards. It reviews the success of Lister’s BRACElet project on the assessment of novice programmers, with an emphasis on evidence-based scholarship to produce a similar action research project on the assessment of novice programmers adapted to the Australian context. Using previous work by Edwards, particular emphasis will be paid to gender issues and the effects of the assessment of first year programming on the attraction and retention of Computing students, a critical issue to Computing academics.
Disciplines: Information technology, Novice computer programmers
