Description

We propose a systematic approach for educative assessment of students’ performance in degree and diploma programming courses in universities and polytechnics. The assessment scheme is based on an extensive set of criteria and subcriteria, which are relevant from the authors’ point of view. The scales for these criteria are defined by means of concrete indicators. Using multiple criteria decision-making software (VISA), profiles of individuals and groups of students may be created and analysed. The approach allows for easy reconfiguration of the selected set of criteria and weighting factors. Grading and reporting that arise from such a comprehensive assessment are further enhanced through Excel compatibility.

Search Google Scholar™

Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.

These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.

Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
