Although many studies have investigated mistakes that students make during programming, we do not know much about the quality of their code. ...
This study examines the presence of quality issues related to program ow, choice of programming constructs and functions, clarity of expressions, decomposition and modularization in a large set of student ...
Recently, large-scale data mining has made it possible to perform automated analysis of large numbers of student programs, leading to several interesting observations. ...

Blackbox is a perpetual data collection project that collects data from worldwide users of the BlueJ IDE -a programming environment designed for novice programmers. ...
Now, the widespread availability of always-on Internet access allows for data collection at a much larger, global scale. In this paper we report on the Blackbox project, begun in June 2013. ...
It is also important to recognise that although large-scale data is useful for investigating some research questions, it is not a panacea. ...
