ABSTRACT
Students often "get stuck" when trying to learn new computing concepts and skills. In this paper, we present and categorize strategies that successful students found helpful in getting unstuck. We found that the students reported using a broad range of strategies, and that these strategies fall into a number of recognizably different categories.

Successful students' strategies for getting unstuck
Proceedings of the 12th annual SIGCSE conference on Innovation and technology in computer science education (ITiCSE'07)Students often "get stuck" when trying to learn new computing concepts and skills. In this paper, we present and categorize strategies that successful students found helpful in getting unstuck. We found that the students reported using a broad range of ...
