In CodeHS, what is the primary purpose of a 'checkpoint' within a programming unit?
Answer: To assess cumulative understanding of concepts covered so far in the unit
Checkpoints in CodeHS assess students' cumulative understanding of the concepts taught up to that point in the unit.
Which CodeHS feature allows teachers to see a visual snapshot of which students have completed each assignment?
Answer: Progress dashboard
The CodeHS progress dashboard gives teachers a visual grid showing completion status per student per assignment.
When a CodeHS free-response question asks students to 'trace' code, what are they expected to do?
Answer: Manually follow the code line-by-line to determine the output
Tracing code means manually executing each line in order to determine what the program outputs without running it.
A CodeHS teacher notices a student consistently fails on while-loop exercises but passes for-loop exercises. What is the BEST next step?
Answer: Review the student's while-loop submissions to identify specific misconceptions
Reviewing specific failed submissions helps the teacher pinpoint the exact misconception causing difficulty with while-loops.
In CodeHS, what does it mean when a submission is marked 'needs revision'?
Answer: The teacher has reviewed the work and requests changes before it is considered complete
'Needs revision' is a teacher-assigned status indicating the work requires student corrections based on feedback.
Which type of CodeHS exercise primarily evaluates a student's ability to read and interpret existing code rather than write new code?
Answer: Code reading/trace exercise
Code reading and trace exercises focus on comprehension of existing code rather than writing new programs.
A CodeHS teacher wants to evaluate whether students understand parameter passing. Which assignment type is MOST appropriate?
Answer: A coding exercise requiring students to write and call functions with parameters
Having students write and call functions with parameters directly assesses their practical understanding of parameter passing.
