Sizing assignments: a contribution from software engineering to computer science education
David F. Haas, Leslie J. Waguespack · 1989
A method of predicting the sizes of programs from a measure of problem size is shown, and research testing the effectiveness of the method is reported. A regression model for predicting average program size as measured by mean_LOC is shown to perform well for a sample of Pascal assignments of moderate size written by students in programming classes.
