Automatically detecting bugs in student program code is critical to enable formative feedback to help students pinpoint errors and resolve them. Deep learning models especially code2vec and ASTNN have shown great success for "large-scale" code classification. It is not clear, however, whether they can be effectively used for bug…

Modeling student learning processes is highly complex since it is influenced by many factors such as motivation and learning habits. The high volume of features and tools provided by computer-based learning environments confounds the task of tracking student knowledge even further. Deep Learning models such as Long-Short Term Memory (LSTMs) and…
