Teaching C programming in context: a joint effort between the Computer Systems, Embedded Computing and Programming Challenges courses

Ways To Write Algorithms And Their Execution Traces For Teaching Programming

“…Learning to understand code is difficult for introductory-courses students because it requires simultaneous learning of programming concepts, ways representing algorithms, and programminglanguage syntax. This problem has been addressed in many works, including (Gulec et al, 2019;Jawale et al, 2019;Karvelas, 2019;Kramer et al, 2019;Montagner et al, 2019;Swidan & Hermans, 2019;Zafar & Farooq, 2019). Paper (Malik, 2019) states that 50 % of students in the introductory programming course are "not good enough", while 63 % of students were rated as "medium".…”
