By running their program and using the rubric, there is strong indication the students are begining to grasp the concept of computer programming. By reading their journals, there is evidence that the students are realizing what a computer programmer does and the difficulty of the job. Students are also writing about their thoughts of computer programming as a possible career choice.

They also realize the complexity of writing a computer program. Journaling gives the students an opportunity to think about what they are doing. “Give students an occasion every day for self-analysis. Giving students this chance to personally reflect on what they are doing, what they are thinking, and what still needs to be done is an invaluable use of instructional time” (Callison, p. 237). ||
