Suitability of SCS1 as a Pre-CS2 Assessment Instrument: A Comparison with Short Deliberate-practice Questions

ACMSE 2020: PROCEEDINGS OF THE 2020 ACM SOUTHEAST CONFERENCE, pp. 313–314.

By: Y. Song *, Y. Xiao n, J. Stephens*, E. Ruesch*, S. Roginski* & L. Layman *

author keywords: CS1-CS2 Transition; SCSI; Assessment; Deliberate Practices
topics (OpenAlex): Teaching and Learning Programming; Experimental Learning in Engineering; Innovative Teaching Methods
TL;DR: This project created a set of short deliberate-practice questions for CS1 topics and used them to evaluate students' prior knowledge at the beginning of a Computer Science 2 (CS2) course, and found that the SCS1 questions are of greater difficulty and low discrimination compare with the authors' short deliberate -practice questions based on the data from students in four sections of CS2 in fall 2019.
