We propose to model the traffic flow in a video using a holistic generative model that does
not require segmentation or tracking. In particular, we adopt the dynamic texture model, an …

Programming environments based on an iconic, flowchart-based notation have been widely
used in the context of introducing novices to programming. These tools were initially heavily …

There is an immense interest in teaching computer science concepts-and programming
specifically-to everyone. The United States Military Academy at West Point has required …

Flowcharts play an important role when learning to program by conveying algorithms
graphically and making them easy to read and understand. Computer-based flowchart …

Pseudocode is vital in enhancing programming comprehension, making it an essential
component of the Programming Logic Formulation (CS1) course. However, many CS1 …

This research explores the challenges novice students face in un-derstanding and tracing
programs, particularly when lacking prior programming experience. Novices often struggle …

In the beginning of learning programming students have misconceptions of what
programming is. We have used a kick-start activation in the beginning of an introductory …

Among the toughest challenges in an introductory computer science course is the need to
motivate non-programmers to learn how to program. The United States Military Academy …

Current research suggests that many students do not know how to program at the
conclusion of their introductory course, which has been taught predominately with textual …

Flowcharts serve as a great tool for new students learning programming logic in a language-
