Dataset Overview
This dataset captures detailed interaction logs from 781 students in the Department of Computer Science at VNU-HCM University of Technology (Vietnam) over the 2023 and 2024 academic years. It covers two courses:
- Programming Fundamentals (PF) – first-year course; prerequisite: Introduction to Computing
- Data Structures & Algorithms (DSA) – second-year course; prerequisite: PF
Both courses run for six weeks, each week concluding with an exam on the previous week’s material.
Student Section Grouping
Students are divided into three groups:
- L (Regular): 572 students across 15 classes, standard admission scores
- CC (Credit-Constrained): 184 students across 3 classes, lower entrance scores with higher tuition
- DT (Deferred/Repeat): 25 students retaking the course or improving prior grades
Weekly Topics & Assignments
- Week 1:
- Object-oriented programming (OOP)
- Recursion
- ArrayList
- Singly linked lists
- Weeks 2–5:
- Doubly linked lists
- Stacks & queues
- Sorting algorithms
- Binary trees & AVL trees
- Search algorithms
- Week 6:
- Hash functions
- Graph theory
Each week’s assignment has multiple programming questions (396 total), each with 1–10 unit tests (3,312 total).
Logging & Actions
In our interactive coding environment, we record:
start_attempt
precheck
(public test cases; gives immediate feedback)save

(private test cases; more stringent, may incur penalties)finish_attempt
On private checks, students see only a numerical score.
