本文介绍了对两所机构（一所小型文理学院和一所大型研究型大学）的学生在CS课程上的经历进行的大规模调查的结果。我们的工作提供了从入门到高年级课程的学生在CS课程中的感受和行为的细粒度视图。我们发现，与男学生相比，女学生报告的行为和感受存在显著差异：女学生在课堂上提问和与老师互动时不太自在，尽管她们的表现与男学生一样好，但她们在课堂上对自己的辅导能力缺乏信心。此外，我们发现这些差异中的一些在课程水平上是一致的或增加的，并可能影响学生的毕业后轨迹。将注意力集中在更高级课程的学生体验上，可能会影响到向计算机科学工作人员过渡过程中出现的性别差异。
This paper presents results of a large-scale survey of students' experiences in CS classes at two institutions: a small liberal arts college and a large research-focused university. Our work provides a fine-grained view of students' feelings and behaviors in CS classes, from introductory through to upper division courses. We find significant differences between the reported behaviors and feelings of female students compared to male students: female students are less comfortable asking questions in class and interacting with their instructor, and come out of a class with lower confidence in their ability to tutor for the class, despite the fact that they perform just as well as male students. Furthermore, we find some of these differences are consistent or increase across course levels, and could potentially affect students' post-college trajectories. Focusing attention on the student experience in more advanced classes may impact gender differences seen in the transition to the CS workforce.
