A method for analyzing reading comprehension in computer science courses

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contribution

Abstract

Reading has traditionally been seen as an essential component in learning, especially at the university level. However, many instructors in higher education, especially in technical courses, do not emphasize reading or try to evaluate it. In this abstract we present an automated system designed to measure and improve reading comprehension and describe preliminary results using the system.
