Overview
Julia Crossley is a PhD student in the GI Centre, in the Department of Computer Science. She supervised by Dr Marjahan Begum and Prof Jo Wood.
Her research interests are in exploring how abstract Computer Science concepts are processed by CS student, developing models and frameworks for classifying how students move through varying levels of abstraction, and testing these models and frameworks empirically.
