Assessing object-oriented programming skills in the core education of computer science and information technology: Introducing new possible approach

Deciding on how to evaluate each students programming skills is one of the largest challenges facing educators who teach object-oriented courses. Traditional assessment of programming education is with Grade. Quite often students get good grades in programming but still facing great challenges or ha...
