N2 - To assist self-study of C programming, we have proposed three types of introductory exercise problems: grammar-concept understanding problem (GUP), value trace problem (VTP) and phase fill-in-blank problem (PFP). GUP and VTP aim at code reading study whereas PFP aims at code writing study. Students can solve them using the browser-based answer interface that has the automatic marking function. In this paper, we present their application results to first-year undergraduate students taking a C programming course in Nihon University, Japan. The same instances were assigned twice this time, where they were assigned once in the previous year. The results show that the correct answer rate was improved for any type as the course elapsed, where that for PFP was no sufficient. Thus, the effectiveness of the proposal is confirmed for basic C programming study.
