“…The Computing: Ipsative Assessment (C:IA) tool developed by (Crosby et al, 2019) helps to address the problems that could be creating potential student unhappiness with assessment and feedback in UK higher education. The web-based system focuses on goal-setting and progress monitoring for students.…”

“…Some have advocated addressing issues of fairness by using an ipsative approach to assessment [11], where students' grades depend not on their attainment, but on the progress that they make from their starting position. This mirrors the Progress 8 measure [3], used in English secondary schools.…”

Given the different amount of programming experience that students have arriving at university, some universities have introduced alternative multiple streams to teach programming. This approach was exemplified by Harvey Mudd College, who successfully used it as part of a range of measures to increase gender diversity within computing. One of the challenges with having multiple streams is how to narrow the experience gap without holding back those students who arrive with more experience of programming. In this paper we discuss one potential solution, which is to offer more experienced students the opportunity to choose their own topic of study and their own project. Rather than having technical constraints on their work, students are instead required to demonstrate how they have managed their own learning and worked collaboratively, developing within Bloom's affective domain.

The stigma surrounding mental health in IT education and industry impacts productivity, health, and career prospects. Little research focuses on mental health factors and efforts in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). This chapter collates important factors affecting mental health in STEM, identifies existing efforts, and highlights research gaps. Contributions of this chapter are two-fold: (a) a working taxonomy of the most commonly reported factors affecting mental health in STEM along with the systematic efforts done to improve these factors, and (b) research gaps in systematic efforts which improve the factors identified in the taxonomy, paving the way for future research to fill these gaps. This chapter contributes to a better understanding of mental health in STEM for educational and workplace settings.
