| Abstract Title: | Measurements of Students' Performance on Computational Exercises in Introductory Mechanics |
|---|---|
| Abstract: | The impact of laboratory and homework exercises on the development of computational thinking is evaluated using a proctored end-of-course computational exercise. We present the motivation for and development of this proctored assignment, an analysis of erroneous student code, and the implications for teaching computation to introductory physics students. |
