We present a systematic literature review of the prior work on Undergraduate Teaching
Assistants (UTAs) in Computer Science with two goals:(1) to create a taxonomy of practices …

Teaching assistants (TAs) are heavily used in computer science courses as a way to handle
high enrollment and still being able to offer students individual tutoring and detailed …

Teaching assistants (TAs) are often used in computer science (CS) courses to conduct
tutorials in smaller groups and to be able to provide students with one-to-one help sessions …

Many starting teachers of computer science have great professional skill but often lack
pedagogical training. Since providing expert mentorship directly during their lessons would …

As computer science classes grow, instructor workload also increases: teachers must
simultaneously teach material, provide assignment feedback, and monitor student progress …

Could it be the case that the number of people who want to teach computer science, and
have the potential, is roughly proportional to the number of people who want to learn …

Existing research does not quantify and compare the differences between automated and
manual assessment in the context of feedback on programming assignments. This makes it …

Recruiting and retaining STEM majors has been an ongoing challenge for colleges and
universities. This research paper describes two initiatives to recruit and retain Computer …

As enrollment in higher education increases, our courses grow larger and educators
sometimes struggle to scale good pedagogy. In many cases, the use of learning assistants …

In this paper we analyse in detail how tutors of an undergraduate-level introductory
programming course use two explicit instructional strategies in practice with their students …
