Student Prediction And Tracking Of Learning Progress Through An Assembly Language Programming Course
Michael R. Smith · 2024
The learning curve associated with a design-oriented 3 rd year course on assembly language programming and interfacing is in complete contrast to that for a C++ course.Marks are typically bimodal during the early stages of the course, but shift rapidly as the students cotton onto the material.Managing student expectations, and initial frustrations, during such a course is a challenge to the instructor.This paper discusses several process management techniques the student can use to track their own progress through any course.The techniques also provide feedback to the instructor in terms of class understanding.Tools for handling the process management techniques are illustrated.
