Abstract: An important skill in developing computer science students is the ability to read source code. Though many have developed tools and techniques to help with this process little work has been done to measure the effectiveness of these techniques. The purpose of this study is to measure the effectiveness of the desk check technique as a tool to help novice programmers understand code.
