Ready to mentor
My core interest is improving learning in programming courses through automated assessment tools (AATs). Developing AATs is a challenging problem that centers on feedback generation, often using assessment information extracted using static and dynamic code analysis approaches. The data captured by AATs can later be analyzed using educational data mining and learning analytics to inform instructors about student activity and provide insight into their learning process.
