Sažetak
Introduction to Programming is a fundamental university or technical college course in technical disciplines. However, it often presents a substantial hurdle for the students. This paper correlates the student's scores at the end of one-semester course with the results of the initial tests over a three year period. Initial questionary and test are solved by the students at the semester start. They consist of logical and mathematical problems as well as questions. The paper shows that the number of students which score well in the course correlates with the number od students which score well in the initial tests. Statistical analysis and correlation with the student's origin, professional preferences and scores in other courses is also presented in the paper.
