Abstract

Water is wet. The Pope is Catholic. In this poster, we explore what else isn't new to the Koli Calling research community. We hypothe size that the introductory sentences of abstracts reflect the commu nity's shared assumptions. Using a mixed-methods approach, we analyze all the abstracts published in Koli proceedings to date. The results suggest, among other things, that the community believes programming to be difficult and online education to be common. For deeper insights, we would have needed to actually read the papers.
