A New Metric to Quantify Repeated Compiler Errors for Novice Programmers

A New Metric to Quantify Repeated Compiler Errors for Novice Programmers
(2016)
Becker, Brett A.
Abstract:
21st Annual Conference on Innovation and Technology in Computer Science Education (ITiCSE), Arequipa, Peru, 11-13 July 2016
Encountering the same compiler error repeatedly, particularly several times consecutively, has been cited as a strong indicator that a student is struggling with important programming concepts. Despite this, there are relatively few studies which investigate repeated errors in isolation or in much depth. There are also few data-driven metrics for measuring programming performance, and fewer for measuring repeated errors. This paper makes two contributions. First we introduce a new metric to quantify repeated errors, the repeated error density (RED). We compare this to Jadud's Error Quotient (EQ), the most studied metric, and show that RED has advantages over EQ including being less context dependent, and being useful for short sessions. This allows us to answer two questions posited by Jadud in 2006 that have until now been unanswered. Second, we compa...

A Reflection on the Use of ePortfolios in Business Studies Programmes
(2016)
Morales, Lucia; Soler-Dominguez, Amparo
Abstract:
Work placement aims to enhance a professional development and allow students to apply knowledge and skills from their programme of study. Students can struggle with both conceptualising work in terms of academic knowledge and the reverse process of transforming tacit knowledge from the workplace into a form they can verbalise. Additionally, they are isolated from their peer support group. To address these issues, we have implemented a blog assessment in Dublin Institute of Technology to actively encourage reflection and also foster peer-to-peer learning through providing an opportunity to share experiences of the diverse range of activities during work placement. A pilot was implemented for Pharmacy Technician students using the Institute’s virtual learning environment. As a result of this pilot and subsequent modifications made in the following years, we identified key requirements and resources to prepare, support and engage students in all aspects of the work placement assessment...

A Wearable Sensor-Based Exercise Biofeedback System: Mixed Methods Evaluation of Formulift
(2019)
O'Reilly, Martin; Slevin, Patrick; Ward, Tomás; Caulfield, Brian
Abstract:
Background: Formulift is a newly developed mobile health (mHealth) app that connects to a single inertial measurement unit (IMU) worn on the left thigh. The IMU captures users movements as they exercise, and the app analyzes the data to count repetitions in real time and classify users exercise technique. The app also offers feedback and guidance to users on exercising safely and effectively. Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the Formulift system with three different and realistic types of potential users (beginner gym-goers, experienced gym-goers, and qualified strength and conditioning [S&C] coaches) under a number of categories: (1) usability, (2) functionality, (3) the perceived impact of the system, and (4) the subjective quality of the system. It was also desired to discover suggestions for future improvements to the system. Methods: A total of 15 healthy volunteers participated (12 males; 3 females; age: 23.8 years [SD 1.80]; height: 1.79 m [SD0.07], body mas...

An Effective Approach to Enhancing Compiler Error Messages
(2016)
Becker, Brett A.
Abstract:
SIGCSE '16: The 47th ACM Technical Symposium on Computer Science Education, Memphis, Tennessee, 2 - 5 March 2016
Compiler error messages present a significant challenge to novice programmers from the time they write their first program. These messages report details on errors the programmer made and are essential as a student's primary source of information on correcting their mistakes. However these frequently inadequate messages present a barrier to progress and are often a source of discouragement. We have designed and implemented an editor that provides enhanced compiler error messages to CS1 students learning Java and conducted a controlled empirical study. We find a reduced frequency of overall errors, errors per student, and identify eight compiler error messages for which enhancement has a significant effect. We also find a reduced number of repeated errors which indicates fewer students struggling with compiler errors.

An Evaluation of Formative Audio Feedback Within Part Time Professional Development Programmes in DIT.
(2015)
McDonnell, Claire M; Donnelly, Roisin; McAvinia, Claire
Abstract:
Evidence from the literature indicates that learners often view feedback in terms of assessment only, even though it can play an important role in improving engagement and consolidating and enriching learning. It is well accepted that the feedback strategy used should be appropriate to the purpose and context of the work, but in order for feedback to be truly helpful, it needs to be goal-referenced, tangible, transparent, actionable, user-friendly (specific and personalized), timely, ongoing and consistent. Technology can also play a useful supporting role in achieving this. This paper explores the impact of formative audio feedback across part time programmes in the Learning and Technology Centre (LTTC) in DIT. Anticipated benefits were that the audio mode would enable provision of more detailed and clearer feedback as well as the opportunity to use tone of voice to help convey meaning and add a more personal element to engage learners more effectively.

An introduction to system dynamics
(2017)
Duggan, Jim
Abstract:
This chapter presents the important concepts underlying the system dynamics modeling method. Following an initial definition of the term model, a summary of a successful system dynamics intervention is described. The key concepts of system dynamics stocks and flows are explained. The process for simulating stock and flow models integral calculus is described, with an example of a company s customer base used to illustrate how stocks change, through their flows, over time. A summary of dimensional analysis for stock and flow equations is provided before the second feature of system dynamics modeling feedback is presented. The chapter concludes by summarizing the system dynamics meth-odology, which is a five-stage iterative process that guides model design, devel-opment, test and policy design.

Antiphase dynamics in a multimode semiconductor laser with optical injection
(2009)
Osborne, Simon; Amann, Andreas; Buckley, K.; Ryan, G.; Hegarty, Stephen P.; Huyet, Guillaume; O'Brien, Shane
Abstract:
A detailed experimental study of antiphase dynamics in a two-mode semiconductor laser with optical injection is presented. The device is a specially designed Fabry-Perot laser that supports two primary modes with a terahertz frequency spacing. Injection in one of the primary modes of the device leads to a rich variety of single and two-mode dynamical scenarios, which are reproduced with remarkable accuracy by a four-dimensional rate equation model. Numerical bifurcation analysis reveals the importance of torus bifurcations in mediating transitions to antiphase dynamics and of saddle node of limit-cycle bifurcations in switching of the dynamics between single- and two-mode regimes.

McCarthy, Cormac; Kanterman, Ian; Trauzettel, Fabian; Jaeger, Herman Alexander; Goetz, Alice-Anne; Colvard, Benjamin; Swanstrom, Lee; Cantillon-Murphy, Pádraig
Abstract:
Objective: The goal of this work was to demonstrate technical feasibility of automated balloon pressure management during REBOA in the pre-clinical setting. Methods: This paper presents an intelligent balloon management device which automates the balloon inflation process, preventing the possibility of balloon over or under inflation, optimizes inflation pressure and if indicated, deflates automating partial REBOA to allow distal organ perfusion. Edwards TruWave pressure transducers are used to monitor the blood pressure proximal and distal to the balloon, as well as the internal balloon pressure. A faux PID controller, implemented on an Arduino platform, is used in a feedback control loop to allow a user defined mean arterial pressure setpoint to be reached, via a syringe driver which allows intelligent inflation and deflation of the catheter balloon. Results: Ex vivo testing on a vascular perfusion simulator provided the characteristic behavior of a fully occluded aorta, namely th...

Direct experimental measurement of single-mode and mode-hopping dynamics in frequency swept lasers
(2017)
Butler, Thomas P.; Goulding, David; Kelleher, Bryan; O'Shaughnessy, Ben; Slepneva, Svetlana; Hegarty, Stephen P.; Huyet, Guillaume
Abstract:
A time-resolved study is presented of the single-mode and mode-switching dynamics observed in swept source vertical cavity surfing emitting lasers and swept wavelength short external cavity lasers. A self-delayed interferometric technique is used to experimentally measure the phase and intensity of these frequency swept lasers, allowing direct examination of the modal dynamics. Visualisation of the instantaneous optical spectrum reveals mode-hop free single mode lasing in the case of the vertical cavity laser, with a tuning rate of 6.3 GHz/ns. More complex mode-switching behaviour occurs in the external cavity laser, with the mode-hopping dynamics found to be dominated by the deterministic movement of the spectral filter. Evidence of transient multi-mode operation and mode-pulling is also presented. (C) 2017 Optical Society of America

Does continuous assessment in higher education support student learning?
(2019)
Hernandez, M. Rosario
Abstract:
A distinction is often made in the literature about “assessment of learning” and “assessment for learning” attributing a formative function to the latter while the former takes a summative function. While there may be disagreements among researchers and educators about such categorical distinctions there is consensus that both types of assessment are often used concurrently in higher education institutions. A question that often arises when formative and summative assessment practices are used in continuous assessment is the extent to which student learning can be facilitated through feedback. The views and perceptions of students and academics from a discipline in the Humanities across seven higher education institutions were sought to examine the above question. A postal survey was completed by academics, along with a survey administered to a sample of undergraduate students and a semi-structured interview was conducted with key academics in each of the seven institutions.

Energy-saving Occupant Behaviour in Offices: Change Strategies
(2016)
Mulville, Mark; Jones, Keith; Huebner, Gesche; Powell-Grieg, Joanne
Abstract:
As regulated energy consumption in buildings is reduced, the proportional importance of unregulated energy consumption increases. Reducing unregulated energy use in the commercial office requires an understanding of the factors that influence workplace behaviour. To date these factors have been assumed to be similar to those that influence behaviour in the home. However, the social dynamics of the workplace are different to those in the home. This study examines the degree to which theories of behaviour change generated largely in a domestic building setting could be used as the basis for designing interventions to reduce unregulated energy consumption in the workplace. It studies the unregulated energy consumption of 39 workers engaged in office-type activities in two separate locations. Following a 100-day monitoring period, three behaviour change interventions were developed and their impact measured over a 100-day period. Results from the study found, on average, an 18.8% reduct...

Abstract:
The Second Conference of the International Network for Didactic Research in University Mathematics (INDRUM 2018), Kristiansand, Norway, 5-7 April 2018
Maths for Business is a first-year mathematics module for approximately 500 nonmathematics specialists. It has continuous assessment consisting of ten weekly quizzes, worth 40% of the final mark. In 2016/17, students who did not receive the maximum five marks on their weekly quiz were offered the opportunity to resubmit their quiz, with correction(s) and an explanation of their error(s), for one additional mark. We refer to this process as ‘remediation’. In this paper, we examine how students remediate their errors in order to identify features of a ‘good’ remediation. These features are identification, description, and correction of errors. By analysing a subset of students (n=31), we observe that a student’s quiz mark, and the cognitive level of the quiz question may impact the nature of the remediation provided.

Abstract:
We experimentally analyze the dynamics of a quantum dot semiconductor laser operating under optical injection. We observe the appearance of single- and double-pulse excitability at one boundary of the locking region. Theoretical considerations show that these pulses are related to a saddle-node bifurcation on a limit cycle as in the Adler equation. The double pulses are related to a period-doubling bifurcation and occur on the same homoclinic curve as the single pulses.

Feedback Amplitude Modulation Synthesis
(2011)
Kleimola, Jari; Lazzarini, Victor; Valimaki, Vesa; Timoney, Joseph
Abstract:
A recently rediscovered sound synthesis method, which is based on feedback amplitude modulation (FBAM), is investigated. The FBAM system is interpreted as a periodically linear time-varying digital filter, and its stability, aliasing, and scaling properties are considered. Several novel variations of the basic system are derived and analyzed. Separation of the input and the modulation signals in FBAM structures is proposed which helps to create modular sound synthesis and digital audio effects applications. The FBAM is shown to be a powerful and versatile sound synthesis principle, which has similarities to the established distortion synthesis methods, but which is also essentially different from them.

Feedback Design in Targeted Exercise Digital Biofeedback Systems for Home Rehabilitation: A Scoping Review
(2020)
Brennan, Louise; Dorronzoro Zubiete, Enrique; Caulfield, Brian
Abstract:
Digital biofeedback systems (DBSs) are used in physical rehabilitation to improve outcomes by engaging and educating patients and have the potential to support patients while doing targeted exercises during home rehabilitation. The components of feedback (mode, content, frequency and timing) can influence motor learning and engagement in various ways. The feedback design used in DBSs for targeted exercise home rehabilitation, as well as the evidence underpinning the feedback and how it is evaluated, is not clearly known. To explore these concepts, we conducted a scoping review where an electronic search of PUBMED, PEDro and ACM digital libraries was conducted from January 2000 to July 2019. The main inclusion criteria included DBSs for targeted exercises, in a home rehabilitation setting, which have been tested on a clinical population. Nineteen papers were reviewed, detailing thirteen different DBSs. Feedback was mainly visual, concurrent and descriptive, frequently providing knowl...

Feedback Design of a Canonical Multivariable System with Application to Shape Control in Sendzimir Mills
(1990)
Ringwood, John; Owens, D.H.; Grimble, M.J.
Abstract:
The shape control problem, for a Sendzimir Cold Rolling Mill, is multivariable. The plant transfer function matrix, has the special form: G(s) = g(s)Gm, where g(s) is a scalar transfer function and Gm a square matrix of constant gains. Gm, however, is not invertible, but the system is diagonalised using an eigenvector/eigenvalue decomposition resulting in a scalar frequency response design problem. An important consideration in shape control systems is the robustness of the design due to the wide range of materials rolled, reflected in changes in the elements of Gm. To this end, a development is included which represents the robustness of the design, with respect to errors in Gm, in terms of a set of strict inequalities.

Feedback Dynamics in the Academic and Industrial Environment

Abstract:
Feedback is essential in all companies, in society and in educational environments. We learn, improve and develop from it in our examinations, group work, work environment and relationships. Feedback however must be supported with good communications and be consistent. In the classroom environment this means providing feedback in a positive and supportive manner, and being consistent to all. Most if not all managers and leaders, including lecturers have not undertaken any form of training in feedback methods and therefore it is not translated effectively, causing stress or misguidance to students and colleagues. This paper highlights the importance of good feedback, how it can be provided effectively and why it is rarely communicated. Students are consistently asking for feedback and highlight it in quality reports and surveys as a major weakness in the delivery of modules and course work. Some of the issues raised are associated with poor preparation, habits and styles of delivery....

Frequency modulation atomic force microscopy in ambient environments utilizing robust feedback tuning
(2013)
Kilpatrick, J. I.; Gannepalli, A.; Cleveland, J. P.; Jarvis, Suzi
Abstract:
Frequency modulation atomic force microscopy (FM-AFM) is rapidly evolving as the technique of choice in the pursuit of high resolution imaging of biological samples in ambient environments. The enhanced stability afforded by this dynamic AFM mode combined with quantitative analysis enables the study of complex biological systems, at the nanoscale, in their native physiological environment. The operational bandwidth and accuracy of constant amplitude FM-AFM in low Q environments is heavily dependent on the cantilever dynamics and the performance of the demodulation and feedback loops employed to oscillate the cantilever at its resonant frequency with a constant amplitude. Often researchers use ad hoc feedback gains or instrument default values that can result in an inability to quantify experimental data. Poor choice of gains or exceeding the operational bandwidth can result in imaging artifacts and damage to the tip and/or sample. To alleviate this situation we present here a method...

Harnessing Technology to Make Learning (and Teaching) More Fun.
(2012)
Ryan, Barry; Dunne, Julie
Abstract:
This paper describes how various technologies were introduced into foundation science modules both to enhance student engagement and feedback, and also to cope with increased teaching workload. It mostly deals with freely available software or tools available through a VLP (virtual learning platform, e.g. Blackboard or Moodle), but also includes audience response ‘Clickers’ which were purchased. The technologies discussed are user-friendly and do not require advanced IT skills. The paper includes successes, but also includes some less successful attempts to integrate technology and explores the possible reasons. As third level funding is reduced, many academics are coming under increased pressure to deal with larger and more diverse classes. In addition, our ‘digital native’ students have increasingly higher expectations regarding the type of learning resources, activities, and communication tools we utilise. Furthermore with information at their fingertips, education is expanding f...

Abstract:
Only recently, researchers and practitioners alike have begun to fully understand the potential of eLearning and have concentrated on new tools and technologies for creating, capturing and distributing knowledge. In order to support and extend those solutions we propose the idea of incorporating the informal knowledge into Learning Management Systems. Contributing to the body of research, problems of existing eLearning technologies are documented highlighting areas of definite improvement. Finally, semantic Web harvesting technology as a solution is explored in the form of the knowledge acquisition tool called IKHarvester.

Improving the Delivery of a Construction Management Study-Abroad Course in Ireland through Student Feedback
(2013)
Goggins, Jamie
Abstract:
International study abroad offers limitless opportunities for students to learn outside of the traditional university setting. By living and learning in a foreign country, the student's exposure to a different culture can help them experience history first-hand and discover new ways of thinking/living. Recent trends show that the number of U.S. college students participating in study-abroad courses offered by their university is increasing. Apart from the exposure to different cultures, many study abroad courses do not provide a focused subject area related to a discipline of study chosen by the individual student. This paper describes an overall view of an international construction management study-abroad course conducted in Ireland by both American and Irish faculty members. The results of student surveys that were used to assess the course learning objectives and provide suggestions for improvement are also presented. These suggestions can be used by faculty members to deve...
