Lukose, Jose; Mammen, Kuttickattu John – Asia-Pacific Forum on Science Learning and Teaching, 2018
Research reports using global data show that the failure rates in introductory programming courses average about 32%. As learners from schools join the university and enrol for different courses, they find the sudden transformation quite challenging. This makes it more challenging for first year university students, especially in difficult courses…
