ABSTRACT
Object-Oriented Programming is an important course in the Bachelor of Science in Computer Science (BSCS) and Bachelor of Science in Information Technology (BSIT) curricula. In the College of Computer Studies (CCS) of Cebu Institute of Technology-University (CIT-U), this course should be enrolled by 2nd year students of both courses, BSIT and BSCS. This course measures the ability of the students to define a class, with attributes and methods such as, but not limited to, constructors, getter, and setter methods, overridden toString and equals method; create an object based on the class definition; implement inheritance, encapsulation, abstraction, and polymorphism; and define and used exceptions in classes. To assess these learning outcomes, an innovative platform called CodeChum was used to provide standardized examination procedures. A group of 259 2nd year students took this standardized examination, 161 of them are BSIT students and 98 are BSCS students. When these students enrolled the course, the course delivery was still hybrid approach, 40% synchronous onsite, 40% synchronous online and 20% asynchronous. The result of the exam showed that, in overall, 61% of the respondents passed the standardized exam through CodeChum, while 39% failed. This same examination will be given next academic year, with the implementation of the full face-to-face approach.
