Students worked in teams of 2-3 to complete the code and
individually to complete the worksheet. All students completed
the assignments in the time allowed. During the individualized
demonstration time for each team, the instructors anecdotally
noted an overall positive response with several students in the
class asking for links to additional Sofia tutorials for self-study.
An informal poll indicated that students would be interested in
spending more time with Sofia in future classes. A CS2 class
immediately followed one of the CS1 sections involved in the
module. Showing an even broader impact, after seeing the CS1
students’ work, one of the CS2 students came to the instructor,
asked how to install the environment, and converted multiple
previous CS2 console based assignments to apps on his own
time
