Abstract |
Retention of computer science majored students depends on the success rate of these students’ in introductory level programming courses. In this work we have provided details and logistics that we use for our COSC 1436 Programming Fundamentals – I course at Sam Houston State University. Specifically, involvement and roles of Teaching Assistants and Mentors in COSC 1436 are discussed in detail. A survey is conducted among the students taking the course and we have shown that the success of the program does not rely only on faculty and their teaching style, it is a complex but on the other hand, applicable equation in which graduate and undergraduate students should be involved. Keywords - Introduction to programming, Java, Student Retention, Teaching Assistants. | |||||||||
