Undergraduate Programming Courses, Students’ Perception and Success

Learning programming at university level is the challenge for both students and teachers, especially for students without previous exposure to programming. Most of the programming courses are compulsory and tough to learn for novice programmers. Students lack the understanding of basic programming concepts and algorithms and find programming difficult. Early failure of understanding important concepts weakens students’ confidence and increases drop-out rate. Students’ success rate and perception during most important programming courses at the undergraduate level at the Faculty of Science, University of Split over extended period of time were analized. Results of this research are presented in this paper.
