Research in Computing Education:
Using McCabe®
IQ software tool in lab hands-on assignments for various courses in
Computer Science programs (Software Development and Quality Assurance
tracks).
Several McCabe-IQ-based labs
(Implementation of Structured Testing Methodology; Complexity Code Study
with McCabe's Metrics; Quality Analyses of Computing Algorithms with
Halstead Metrics; and Re-Engineering Code Studies with Object-Oriented
Metrics) are explored and adopted for teaching instructions via Blackboard®
sites for several courses in M.S. Computer Science program, including
CS552 Object-Oriented System Analysis & Design, CS557 Algorithms, CS608
Software Engineering, CS680 Software Quality Assurance, and CS699
Professional Seminar in Computer Science. Under the instructor's supervision, all M.S./Computer Science
students in Software Development and Quality Assurance tracks prepared their lab reports
and developed individual projects for completing their M.S./CS-degree
programs (see the list of students' project topics below). The
instructor has summarized these studies in seven presentations at the
national and international conferences, as well as in four papers recently published in the
Journal of Computing
Sciences in Colleges
(2011),
Learning
Management System Technologies and Software Solutions for Online
Teaching: Tools and Applications
(2010),
Rivier Academic
Journal
(2007),
and in
Computer
Science and Information Systems: Selected Papers from the 1st International Conference on Computer Sciences &
Information Systems, Athens, Greece, 16-18 June 2005 (see
the list of instructor's papers below).
