BYOPaper: SIGCSE TS or Handbook

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:

  1. Go to the ACM Digital library’s SIGCSE search engine.
  2. Use Google Scholar and include SIGCSE in your keyword search, make sure the citation says SIGCSE.
  3. 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).

The overall goal of this week’s reading is for you to start looking for related work for your research question and to share what you find with the class in case it would benefit them as well.

Everyone will give a short presentation on what they read. In the class Word file in our Box folder, is a link to a Google slide deck. Make a copy of the TODO slide and update it. Your slide 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). Be prepared to also discuss why you chose this paper. Try really hard to fit your entire presentation on that slide, learning how to be brief and succinct is an important skill to practice.

Grading

  • Exemplary (10 points) – There is a slide with all the parts and it was presented in class.
  • Satisfactory (9 points) – There is a slide with all of the parts, but it was not presented in class. If you missed class due to a reasonable reason, you will get the opportunity when you return to class.
  • Not yet (6 points) – There is a slide but it is missing one part.
  • Unassessable (2 points) – There is a slide but it does not fulfill the Not yet criteria.

Regrade

You may redo the work and request a single regrade to update your grade.
