scheduling and student performance
We present data showing strong correlation between students' time management and a successful outcome on programming assignments. Students who spread their work over more time will produce a better result without additional expenditure of total effort. We examined performance of students who sometimes did well and sometimes did poorly, and found that their good performance occurred on the projects where they displayed better time management. While these results will not surprise most instructors, hard data is more compelling than intuition when trying to train students to use good time management.
