The Application of Event Studies in Evaluation of Teaching Quality

Computer science is integrated with the practice closely. It has become consensus of scholars that coding ability is important to computer science education, and programming exercises can improve teaching quality efficiently. However, this consensus more relies on the expert´s experience and intuition. It¿s lack of quantifiable indicators or empirical data to support the consensus. In this paper, event studies are used to analysis the effect of programming exercises to teaching quality. The results show that the improvement of students¿ coding ability can effectively improve teaching quality of computer science courses.
