Analysis of Novices' Web-Based Help-Seeking Behavior While Programming

PROCEEDINGS OF THE 54TH ACM TECHNICAL SYMPOSIUM ON COMPUTER SCIENCE EDUCATION, VOL 1, SIGCSE 2023, pp. 945–951.

By: J. Skripchuk n, N. Bennett n, J. Zheng, E. Li  n & T. Price n 

author keywords: CS education; help-seeking; web-search; novice programming
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

PROCEEDINGS OF THE 53RD ACM TECHNICAL SYMPOSIUM ON COMPUTER SCIENCE EDUCATION (SIGCSE 2022), VOL 1, 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
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.
