Donald Chinn Institute of Technology University of Washington, Tacoma Tacoma, WA, USA 98402 dchinn@u.washington.edu Judy Sheard Faculty of Information Technology Monash University Victoria, Australia Judy.Sheard@infotech.monash.edu.au Angela Carbone Faculty of Information Technology Monash University Victoria, Australia Angela.Carbone@infotech.monash.edu.au Mikko-Jussi Laakso Department of Information Technology and Turku Centre for Computer Science (TUCS) University of Turku, Finland milaak@utu.fi Abstract In this paper, we report the results of a survey of the study habits of CS1 students. In this survey, students were asked how much time they spent on course-related activities such as reading the textbook, working on problems outside class, using online learning tools, and consulting with their instructor. We identified factors that influenced student study habits and how those factors affected students’ final course score. The findings show that students engaged in a wide range of study behaviours in terms of time spent and use of resources. Previous programming experience and lecture attendance were positive factors to final course score, and a tendency to work with others was a negative factor. We found no difference in final course score based on gender; however, females tended...

Black, PhD (also called “Dr. B”) Email: Use the Messages feature in the classroom to email me. Table of Contents Course Description (Catalog) | This course introduces students to writing computer programs. The class presents the principles of structured programming using the BASIC language, perhaps the most common language for personal computers. Because of its ease of use it is ideal as a first programming language and runs on both the PC and Macintosh platforms. The course is designed for people without previous programming experience who do not necessarily plan on becoming professional programmers. However, the knowledge gained in the class can be applied later to other languages such as C and Java. Participants learn to solve problems logically by breaking them into smaller pieces, which can then be solved. Topics include: introduction to computing - how does a computer work?; input and output - getting information to and from the user; variables and expressions - performing arithmetic; data...

...Information from my Week 1 CIS/319 class readings will be used as a guide. Phases of the traditional Systems Development Life Cycle (SLDC) for a Bank ATM The Six Phases According to Moore, W., Nolan, E., & Gillard, “There are six different phases in a traditional systems development life cycle. The first phase is preliminary investigation, the second phase is system study, the third phase is system analysis, the fourth phase is programming and implementation, the fifth phase is support and maintenance, and the sixth phase is documentation”. (2006) According to Computer World, “Stages of the traditional system development lifecycle can be characterized and divided up in different ways, including the following: Project planning, feasibility study: Establishes a high-level view of the intended project and determines its goals. Systems analysis, requirements definition: Refines project goals into defined functions and operation of the intended application. Analyzes end-user information needs. Systems design: Describes desired features and operations in detail, including screen layouts, business rules, process diagrams, pseudo code and other documentation. Implementation: The real code is written here. Integration and testing: Brings all the pieces together into a special testing environment, then checks for errors, bugs and interoperability. Acceptance, installation, deployment: The final stage of initial development, where the software is put into...
