For this week’s reading, you may choose to find a paper from the Special Interest Group Computer Science Education Technical Symposium (SIGCSE TS) or pick a chapter in the Handbook. To find papers, you can try the following:
- Go to the ACM Digital library’s SIGCSE search engine.
- Use Google Scholar and include SIGCSE in your keyword search. Make sure the citation says SIGCSE.
- Google “SIGCSE <year>” with the year of your choice, and most of the conference’s websites have a program schedule, such as SIGCSE 2022, SIGCSE 2021, SIGCSE 2019, etc. (SIGCSE 2020 got canceled, so those papers were invited back to present in SIGCSE 2021).
There are two deliverables for all BYOPapers:
- An entry in your QQC Doc
- A Trello card in the class’s Trello board summarizing the paper
- Your card should contain a 1-2 sentence summary, key takeaways from the paper, any other thoughts/questions you had about the paper, and a citation with a link (unless it’s the handbook). Attaching a copy of the paper to the card is appreciated but not required. Be prepared to also discuss why you chose this paper. You do not need to make this extensive; see the example card for reference.
We will start class by discussing our labels from when we did the ICER BYOPaper. In your tables, you will then discuss what labels to apply to your SIGCSE paper (and if you didn’t present your ICER paper yet, your ICER paper) and any new labels that would make sense to have. Then we’ll come together and have a class discussion about the papers.
Grading
- Exemplary (10 points) – There is a card with all the parts, and it was presented in class.
- Satisfactory (9 points) – There is a card with all of the parts, but it was not presented in class. If you missed class for a reasonable reason, you will get the opportunity when you return to class.
- Not yet (6 points) – There is a card, but it is missing one part.
- Unassessable (2 points) – There is a card, but it does not fulfill the Not yet criteria.
Regrade
You may redo the work and request a single regrade to update your grade.
