It has been an exciting week back to school and back to working on this year's CREU project. I created our blog and added Alyssa, Ali, Dr. Lazar, and Dr. Sharif to it.
Tapia is right around the corner, Sept. 14-17, and I will be presenting our CREU project from last year there. So I spent part of this last week putting together a first draft of the poster. After going over the first draft of our Tapia poster with Dr. Sharif, I learned that I can put a lot less words on the poster and a lot more visual aides. The poster should be able to stand on its own, but not be overwhelming the reader to the point where they cannot get the complete idea of the poster in 30s to 1min of looking at it. In the coming week, I will be revising the poster.
Finally, I read, An Eye-tracking Study Assessing the Comprehension of C++ and Python Source Code, in order to get an idea of a study and data analysis related to the study and analysis we would like to perform for this year's CREU project. I learned more specifics about eye-tracking study designs and about Linear Mixed Effects Regression and Mann-Whitney non-parametric tests. I summarized this paper in a PowerPoint presentation for later reference. The paper found that there is a statistically significant difference between the C++ and Python participant groups with respect to the rate at which they looked at buggy lines of code, and a statistically significant difference between novices and non-novices in their code comprehension abilities for both the C++ and Python participant groups.
