As computer science enrollments continue to surge, assessments that involve student collaboration may play a more critical role in improving student learning. We provide a review on some of the most commonly adopted collaborative assessments in computer science, including pair programming, collaborative exams, and group projects. Existing research on these assessment formats is categorized and compared. We also discuss potential future research topics on the aforementioned collaborative assessment formats.

Ambulance dispatch is a system where an operator directs a set of ambulances to locations where people require emergency medical assistance. A few seconds can still be decisive in whether the ambulance and the medical technicians arrive on time to save the patient. To further study how ambulance travel time affects success rates, we have written software to simulate ambulance dispatch using past data. Running this program on varying parameters such as number of ambulances and bases show minor to stark differences in the effectiveness of a group of ambulances to respond to emergency medical cases within a city. Using this tool, it becomes possible to highlight the effectiveness of increasing the number of ambulances in Tijuana in order to better execute ambulance dispatch.
