LEARNING HOW STUDENTS ARE LEARNING IN PROGRAMMING LAB SESSIONS
Department of Computer Science and EngineeringProgramming lab sessions help students learn to program in a practical way. Although these sessions
are typically valuable to students, it is not uncommon for some participants to fall behind throughout
the sessions and leave without fully grasping the concepts covered during the session. In my thesis, I
will be presenting LabEX, a system for instructors to understand students' progress and learning
experience during programming lab sessions. LabEX utilizes statistical techniques that help
distinguishing struggling students and understand their degree of struggle. LabEX also helps instructors
to provide in-situ feedback to students with its real-time code review. LabEX was evaluated in an entry-level
programming course taken by more than two hundred students in UNIST, establishing that it
increases the quality of programming lab sessions.ope
