Abstract
This paper deals with the classification of assignments according to their type. In contrast to other assignment types not deductively, but extract them empirically from different sources. Our main research question is: What types of programming assignments are actually given to novice programmers? In addition, we compare our empirically found assignment types to the deductively derived ones from the literature. This is driven by the following research questions: Are there types of assignments that are mentioned in literature, which however are not or rarely found in actual assignments given to novice programmers? Can assignment types be found that cannot or only poorly be matched with the category types described in the literature?
