  abstract =     "The high failure and low retention rates of students
                 in introductory programming courses are of growing
                 concern. This study looks at a group of students who
                 are repeating an introductory programming subject,
                 exploring issues which may affect their learning and
                 ultimate success. Comparisons are made with a group of
                 new students undertaking the same subject. The students
                 were surveyed in the middle and at the end of one
                 semester. A profile of the students, focussing on their
                 motivation for their course selection and commitment to
                 this course, was established. Their opinions on the
                 usefulness of their classes, various resources,
                 tutorial work and assignment work were sought. The
                 needs and concerns of these students, highlighted in
                 the surveys, are discussed and suggestions are made for
                 the establishment of a special learning environment for
                 failing students.",
