All too often, the resulting code quality is poor. While it is widely believed that students would write better code if they spent more time reading code, it is di ƒcult to get students to read code e €ectively. We present a web-based application supporting generation and delivery of quizzes designed to evaluate and improve code reading skills. tpelton@uvic.ca Categories and Subject Descriptors K.3.2 [Computers and Education]: Computer Science Education General Terms Algorithms, Human Factors Keywords CS1, code reading, active learning, web-based tool 1. INTRODUCTION Writing computer software is hard. You must maintain control over many details and numerous complex relationships, in both the programming language and the application domain. While Computer Science students write a lot of code, the quality of the code is
