Christopher Hundhausen; Phill Conrad; Olusola Adesope; Ahsun Tariq – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2023
Assessing team software development projects is notoriously difficult and typically based on subjective metrics. To help make assessments more rigorous, we conducted an empirical study to explore relationships between subjective metrics based on peer and instructor assessments, and objective metrics based on GitHub and chat data. We studied 23…

Tomkin, Jonathan H.; West, Matthew; Herman, Geoffrey L. – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2018
We present a methodological improvement for calculating Grade Point Averages (GPAs). Heterogeneity in grading between courses systematically biases observed GPAs for individual students: the GPA observed depends on course selection. We show how a logistic model can account for course selection by simulating how every student in a sample would…

Carter, Adam S.; Hundhausen, Christopher D.; Adesope, Olusola – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2017
Analyzing the process data of students as they complete programming assignments has the potential to provide computing educators with insights into both their students and the processes by which they learn to program. In prior research, we explored the relationship between (a) students' programming behaviors and course outcomes, and (b) students'…
