Abstract
The University of Tartu course "Introduction to programming II" is the second part of the introductory programming course. The course is taught in English and the participating students come from various backgrounds and have different skill levels. The purpose of this bachelor's thesis was to update the existing collection of exercises and create troubleshooters for homework exercises. The new collection of exercises helps to reduce the leaking of solutions among students and therefore promotes independent learning. The troubleshooter is a help material consisting of questions and hints, which aims to support students in solving homework by giving them recommendations for solving problems. In addition, troubleshooters help to ease the workload of teachers because students do not have to ask help from the teacher every time. As part of the thesis, a total of 29 exercises were renewed and 9 troubleshooters were made. The course practicum supervisors were asked for feedback on the created learning materials. The received feedback was analyzed and based on this, the educational materials were improved according to the recommendations.
