Broadening Participation and Success in AP CSA: Predictive Modeling from Three Years of Data
SIGCSE '21: Proceedings of the 52nd ACM Technical Symposium on Computer Science EducationPages 626–632https://doi.org/10.1145/3408877.3432421The AP Computer Science A course and exam continually exhibit inequity among over- and under-represented populations. This paper explored three years of AP CS A data in the Chicago Public School district (CPS) from 2016-2019 (N = 561). We analyzed the ...

The Persistent Effect of Pre-College Computing Experience on College CS Course Grades
SIGCSE '18: Proceedings of the 49th ACM Technical Symposium on Computer Science EducationPages 876–881https://doi.org/10.1145/3159450.3159508Many college computer science majors have little or no pre-college computing experience. Previous work has shown that inexperienced students under-perform their experienced peers when placed in the same introductory courses, and are more likely to drop ...
