Viraj Kumar (Visiting Professor, KIAC), conducted a hands-on workshop for 46 faculty as part of the ‘National Level Faculty Development Program on Effective Pedagogical Strategies for Computer Science Education’, organised jointly by the Directorate of Higher Education, Goa State Higher Education Council and the ACM India Special Interest Group on Computer Science Education (ACM iSIGCSE).
The workshop was entitled ‘Helping Students Develop a Critical Eye with Refute Questions’, which was a refinement of a previous workshop presented by Viraj Kumar at the SIGCSE TS 2023 conference in Toronto, Canada (March 2023).
The participants were experienced faculty in various undergraduate and postgraduate computing disciplines. The workshop provided them with a hands-on introduction to a recently proposed, auto-gradable type of question that simultaneously tests student understanding of the task and the code for that task.
