Teamscope: Scalable Team Evaluation via Automated Metric Mining for Communication, Organization, Execution, and Evolution
April 2017 L@S '17: Proceedings of the Fourth (2017) ACM Conference on Learning @ Scale
Publisher: ACM

Full text available: PDFPDF
Teaching software development teams can be difficult to scale. Based on various cloud-based software development tools, Teamscope provides automated or semi-automated metrics to improve the scalability of a course with team projects. Metrics developed in Teamscope provide a synthesized view of a student team. Our preliminary results have shown the ...

Full text available: PDFPDF
Deep neural networks (DNNs) have undergone a surge in popularity with consistent advances in the state of the art for tasks including image recognition, natural language processing, and speech recognition. The computationally expensive nature of these networks has led to the proliferation of implementations that sacrifice abstraction for high performance. ...

Identifying Student Misunderstandings using Constructed Responses
Kristin Stephens-Martinez, An Ju, Colin Schoen, John DeNero, Armando Fox

Full text available: PDFPDF
In contrast to multiple-choice or selected response questions, constructed response questions can result in a wide variety of incorrect responses. However, constructed responses are richer in information. We propose a technique for using each student's constructed responses in order to identify a subset of their stable conceptual misunderstandings. Our approach ...

Ongoing student feedback on course content and assignments can be valuable for MOOC instructors in the absence of face-to-face-interaction. To collect ongoing feedback and scalably identify valuable suggestions, we built the MOOC Collaborative Assessment and Feedback Engine (M-CAFE). This mobile platform allows MOOC students to numerically assess the course, their ...

The SEJITS framework supports creating embedded domain-specific languages (DSELs) and code generators, a pair of which is called a specializer , with much less effort than creating a full DSL compiler---typically just a few hundred lines of code. SEJITS' main benefit is allowing application writers to stay entirely in high-level ...

Is the MOOC honeymoon winding down? With many university faculty opposing the MOOC movement, the author argues taking the best of massive online coursesaccess to high-quality materials and rapid feedback to studentsto implement SPOCs (small private online courses) will provide a more effective leverage of instructors' time and resources.

The spectacular failure of the Affordable Care Act website ("Obamacare") has focused public attention on software engineering. Yet experienced practitioners mostly sighed and shrugged, because the historical record shows that only 10 % of large (> 10 M) software projects using conventional methodologies such as Waterfall are successful. In contrast, ...

We study effects of introducing a real-time chatroom into a massive open online course with several thousand students, supplementing an existing forum. The chatroom was supported by teaching assistants, and generated thousands of lines of discussion by 28\% of 681 consenting chat condition participants, mostly on-topic. Despite this, chat activity ...

High-level productivity languages such as Python, Matlab, and R are popular choices for scientists doing data analysis. However, for today's increasingly large datasets, applications written in these languages may run too slowly, if at all. In such cases, an experienced programmer must typically rewrite the application in a less-productive performant ...

Is the New Software Engineering Curriculum Agile?
Armando Fox, David Patterson
September 2013 IEEE Software: Volume 30 Issue 5, September 2013
Publisher: IEEE Computer Society Press
Bibliometrics:

As the last standardization effort was done in 2004, the software engineering curriculum is currently being revised. Haven't we reached the point where agile development should be part of all software engineering curricula? And if so, shouldn't new curriculum standards ensure that it is?
