Debt Environment in Computer Science Education
Original language description
Courses in computer science are often designed with a consideration of interesting topics and materials as well as with a significant amount of individual work. In order to encourage studies on complex exercises and projects, the aspects of competition and collaboration can be applied. Students are often motivated at the beginning of the course, but unfortunately their interest decreases as the semester continues. In this paper we suggest a debt environment approach that keeps students in a continuous pace to meet deadlines, which effectively distributes motivation throughout the course. A study implementing the approach with other methodological aspects is provided in a bachelor computer science course. Students work in teams and also as individuals and compete for their final grade. Applied methodological aspects are discussed regards to students' course evaluation. Evaluation of students' feedback shows positive effect of the approach regards students' motivation. As indicated in th
