author keywords: CS education; help-seeking; web-search; novice programming
topics (OpenAlex): Teaching and Learning Programming; Innovative Teaching and Learning Methods; Online Learning and Analytics
TL;DR: It is suggested that novices use a variety of web-search strategies -- some quite unexpected -- with varying degrees of success, suggesting that web search can be a challenging skill for novice programmers. (via Semantic Scholar)

Identifying Common Errors in Open-Ended Machine Learning Projects

Skripchuk, J., Shi, Y., & Price, T. (2022, February 22). Proceedings of the 53rd ACM Technical Symposium on Computer Science Education, Vol. 1, pp. 216–222.

By: J. Skripchuk n, Y. Shi n  & T. Price n 

Contributors: J. Skripchuk n, Y. Shi n  & T. Price n 

author keywords: Computer science education; Machine learning education; Data science
topics (OpenAlex): Software Engineering Research; Machine Learning and Data Classification; Teaching and Learning Programming
TL;DR: This work qualitatively coded over 2,500 cells of code from 19 final team projects in an upper-division machine learning course to identify what ML errors students struggle with, and found that library usage, hyperparameter tuning, and misusing test data were among the most common errors.
