Using a Pre-Assessment Exam to Construct an Effective Concept-Based Grade Predicting Genetic Program
(Proceedings of the 2005 ACM SIGCSE Technical Symposium of Computer Science Education, 2005-02)
There is a limit on the amount of time a faculty member may devote to each student. As a consequence, a faculty member must quickly determine which student needs more attention than others throughout a semester. One of the ...
A Model for Long Term Assessment of Computing and Information Systems Programs
(Information Systems Education Journal, 2011-08)
Assessment practices and requirements are very broad and vary widely among academic programs and from one institution to the other. Consequently, we noticed, in the recent years, increased volumes of research and interest ...
Effective Course-Based Learning Outcome Assessment for ABET Accreditation of Computing Programs
(Journal of Computer Sciences in Colleges, 2007-11)
Recent changes in accreditation criteria of computing programs require effective learning outcome assessment with a vigorous process, well documented results, broad faculty participation, and a complete coverage of the ...
Querying Bitcoin Blockchain Using SQL
(Proceedings of the EDSIG Conference, 2018-11)
Bitcoin is the first major decentralized cryptocurrency with wide acceptance. A core technological innovation of Bitcoin is blockchain, a secure and pseudonymous general ledger that stores every Bitcoin transaction. ...
An Investigation Dimension for Understanding and Characterizing Computing Disciplines
(Proceedings of the 23rd Americas Conference on Information Systems AMCIS, 2017-08)
Computing disciplines are diverse and overlap extensively. ACM provides two dimensions, theory and target level, as a tool to describe the problem spaces of five disciplines of computing: computer science, information ...
A Realistic Data Cleansing and Preparation Project
(Journal of Information Systems Education (JISE), 2012-11)
Although data cleansing and preparation are significant tasks in many real-world data projects, they are rarely found in project assignments in IS database courses. This paper describes a pilot study of a relatively ...
Building STEM Awareness through Programming Competition
(The fourth annual Texas Engineering and Technology Consortium Best Practices Conference, 2009)
The University of Houston-Clear Lake's S-STEM project is awarding scholarships to students pursuing Computer Science, Computer Information Systems, Computer Systems Engineering and Mathematics who demonstrate both academic ...
Assessing Information Systems and Computer Information Systems Programs from a Balanced Scorecard Perspective
(Journal of Information Systems Education (JISE), 2012)
Assessment of educational programs is one of the important means used in academia for accountability, accreditation, and improvement of program quality. The assessment practices, guidelines, and requirements are very broad ...
Incorporating Applied Critical Thinking into Computer Information Systems Curriculum under a University-Wide Initiative
(Proceedings of the EDSIG Conference, 2015-11)
Information Systems (IS) educators have long recognized the importance of critical thinking (CT) as
an essential element in the success of their curricula. Past research on CT in IS curricula mainly
focused on individual ...
The use of free and open source software in real-world capstone projects
(Journal of Computer Sciences in Colleges, 2011)
This paper analyzes the use of Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) in 22 real-world graduate computer science projects mentored by industrial partners in the past 2.5 years. It serves as a case study on how FOSS is used ...
