Abstract
This paper describes the analysis of massive open online course “Introduction to programming” exercises solutions. As all the solutions are assessed automatically then the course supervisors are not aware of the solutions and mistakes made by the course participants. The purpose of this thesis was to figure out the mistakes and possible solutions of conditional statements and loop exercises and give helpful feedback of common problems for the supervisors to make adjustments as needed for the future courses. As a result of this analysis the following research questions were answered: which kind of solutions appeared amongst the solutions, which mistakes were made during problem solving and which mistakes were most common.
