Teaching Students To Use Programming Error Messages

Year: 2023

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: Research shows many students struggle to use programming error and warning messages effectively. Instead of using these messages as aids to debug and fix their code, some students have negative emotional reactions to seeing 'angry red text'. Not utilizing programming error and warning messages effectively, or at all, increases the difficulty of learning to program.
