Enesekontrolli- ja eksamitestid kursusele „Introduction to programming“

Abstract

The University of Tartu course „Introduction to programming“ gives students their first knowledge about programming. The purpose of this bachelor's thesis was to create new selfassessment tests and exam tests for the course. A total of eight self-assessment tests and five exam tests were created. The direct feedback helps students to understand their mistakes, learn from their mistakes, and motivates them to improve their knowledge. Updating the tests reduces the probability that the questions and answers will spread among students. The selfassessment tests were created based on the ADDIE model for creating e-learning tools. The questions in the exam tests are similar to the questions in the self-assessment tests. The tests were created in Moodle and are in English. Students were asked to give free-form feedback to the self-assessment tests and it was largely positive. The feedback received from the students was that the self-assessment tests were helpful.
