TL;DR: The authors found that students who admit to having both high and low levels of anxiety performed worse on a grammar test than students who admitted to feeling “normal.” Students also proved to be poor judges of their own performance as their accuracy was compared to a post-task questionnaire.
Abstract: Despite a plethora of information on the topic of anxiety in academic settings, the ways that anxiety affect student performance remains unclear, especially in the foreign language classroom. The present paper describes a study that was conducted in which American students in a university-level Spanish class gave insight into various aspects of their anxiety. Results reveal that students who admit to having both high and low levels of anxiety performed worse on a grammar test than students who admitted to feeling “normal.” Students also proved to be poor judges of their own performance as their accuracy was compared to a post-task questionnaire. The presence of a person other than the teacher did not affect the students’ performance. Finally, despite its reputation for being anxiety inducing, the students surveyed ranked foreign languages as less stressful than other academic subjects. Results indicate that instead of aiming to remove all anxiety in a foreign language class, instructors might aspire to make students feel as normal as possible.

TL;DR: This short paper identifies some common problems that students face when dealing with proofs, defines a graphical framework for facilitating the reading and writing of proofs, and presents some proof examples under this framework.
Abstract: Theories in computer science, especially proofs, are a tough topic for the student. Most students feel great bewilderment when studying example proofs and writing their own proofs. In this short paper, we first identify some common problems that students face when dealing with proofs, then define a graphical framework for facilitating the reading and writing of proofs, next present some proof examples under this framework, and finally summarize what can be gained by this framework.
