Sentiment analysis provided insights into student engagement

Abstract

Codeathon activity is a practical approach for enduring the principles of Software Engineering and Object Oriented Modelling. Real world domain problem's solution was accomplished through team work. Analysing the problem and designing a feasible solution through a one day activity was achieved through virtual connection. There are three different sections in a semester, 13 teams were framed and assigned one problem statement. Individual team were supposed to prototype a solution which was further used to build one feasible solution. The feedback from students showed different sentiments associated with day long activity. Vivid emotions and expressions of students were analysed.
