When the Computer Science faculty changed from covering control structures before using classes to an objects-first approach in an introductory programming course, students struggled to learn the material. The end-of-semester grades were notably lower than past years. To help students understand the concepts introduced in the new format, the faculty began requiring students to use two different online self-assessment tools to enhance their learning.
