Modeling Student Learning with 3.8 Million Program Traces
As programmers write code, they often edit and retry multiple times, creating rich "interaction traces" that reveal how they approach coding tasks and provide clues about their level of skill development. For novice programmers in particular, these traces reflect the diverse reasoning processes they employ to code, such as exploratory behavior to understand how a programming concept works, re-strategizing in response to bugs, and personalizing stylistic choices. In this work, we explore what ca…

It pisses me off that NBC Nightly News showed actual footage from this presser -- and neglected to mention the guy from Novo Nordisk keeled over seconds later.
And there was no mention of this now-iconic photo.
Just, yay, cheaper weight loss drugs. -- No visuals of the sociopath sociopathing.

A Survey of LLM-Based Applications in Programming Education: Balancing Automation and Human Oversight
Novice programmers benefit from timely, personalized support that addresses individual learning gaps, yet the availability of instructors and teaching assistants is inherently limited. Large language models (LLMs) present opportunities to scale such support, though their effectiveness depends on how well technical capabilities are aligned with pedagogical goals. This survey synthesizes recent work on LLM applications in programming education across three focal areas: formative code feedback, as…
