Abstract
Traditionally, the introductory programming course for computer science students at Nuremberg Tech had been implemented as a combination of lectures and exercise sessions. Due to high failure rates in the winter semester 2023/24, an experimental teaching concept based on the inverted classroom was implemented for one cohort in the winter semester 2024/25. Students had to prepare themselves through literature work and activating teaching and learning methods. The course was accompanied by a series of data collections (i.e., a Teaching Analysis Poll, two surveys, and a teaching diary) to gain insights into students' learning methods and behaviors. The concept was evaluated positively overall, although many detailed opportunities for improvement were identified. In this article, we document the results of the surveys and discuss the implications.
