Collaborative assessments in computer science education: A survey

Abstract

As computer science enrollments continue to surge, assessments that involve student collaboration may play a more critical role in improving student learning. We provide a review on some of the most commonly adopted collaborative assessments in computer science, including pair programming, collaborative exams, and group projects. Existing research on these assessment formats is categorized and compared. We also discuss potential future research topics on the aforementioned collaborative assessment formats.
