This interface will also let students know which type of challenge they’ve unlocked, and the first few times they encounter a Combo or Concept Challenge, we’ll remind them what it means.Ĭombo Challenge Levels will also remind users to work towards finding a solution for all the goals of the level if they submit a partial solution. We’ve designed the interface to encourage students to start the Challenge Level instead of starting the next required sequential level in the course.

How do students play the Challenge Levels?Īs they complete levels, students will see new Victory screens that tell them when they’ve “unlocked” new Challenge Levels. For Combo levels, teachers can hover over fractional/pie circles which will display how many of the concepts a student demonstrated in that Combo level. The Assessments tab will show No Progress (grey), In Progress (yellow) or Complete (green) for each Challenge level.

How will teachers know which Challenge Levels students have done? Students are listed by row, and concepts are listed across columns.Ĭombo Challenges are labeled as such and the column has fractional/pie completion circles. Teachers can see a new Assessments tab on their classroom page. Contact us if you have an older classroom that needs assessments. How do teachers receive these updated features?Īll classrooms created after August 2017 automatically have access to Challenge Levels. Once the Combo Challenge level is complete the student will see the Challenge Complete screen with a fraction representing how many concepts were used. In-level goals for Combo Challenges will look like the example above. Combo Challenges can be passed with partial goals completed.Computer Science 3 has five Combo Challenges.


Students unlock Challenge Levels as they complete required course levels, and can be tackled at their leisure.
CODECOMBAT CS3 ANSWERS UPDATE
Now, we’re pleased to announce a major feature update Challenge Levels Challenge LevelsĬhallenge Levels are designed to help you assess student knowledge of concepts in Computer Science courses. With their valuable input, we’ve developed more tools to help students get the most out of their CodeCombat journey. One of the biggest frustrations teachers shared with us was not having comprehensive assessment feedback about their student’s progress. Since our launch in 2013, we’ve read teacher emails and chatted with passionate educators over the phone and online and shared that feedback across all teams at CodeCombat. Update 4/11/18 - We are proud to announce assessments are now available in CS3! See below for details. We’re introducing a new and more comprehensive assessment tool to help teachers challenge and guide students through their coding adventure.
