+In code comprehension tasks, students may be asked to explain critical steps of the code. 
+The ability to automatically assess these self-explanations offers a unique opportunity to understand the current state of student knowledge,
+recognize possible misconceptions, and provide feedback. Annotated datasets are needed to train Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning approaches for the 
+automated assessment of student explanations. To answer this need, we present a novel corpus called SelfCode which consists of 
+1,770 sentence pairs of student and expert self-explanations of JAVA code examples along with semantic similarity judgments provided by experts. 
+
+## Data Set Example
+| Line of Code | Crowd Sourced Explanation | ExpertExplanation | Annotation Score |
+| --- | --- | ---| --- |
+| int [] arr = { 1, 2, 3}; | Declares the array we want to use for our assignment | We initialize the array of type int to hold the specified numbers. | 4 |
+| int num = 15; | variable decleration: declares the number we are trying to divide | We could initialize it to any positive integer greater than 1. | 1 |
+|  divisor += 1; | if the loop condition is true, then we increment the divisor by 1 | When the divisor is not a factor of the number, we increment the variable divisor by 1. | 3 |
+| int seconds = scan.nextInt(); | Get the number entered by the user. | We read the seconds by calling the nextInt() method because this input is an integer. | 2 |
+| System.out.println("Enter an integer: "); | Ask the user to enter an integer. | We prompt the user to enter an integer.| 5 |
+
+## Data Set Stats
