This paper presents the results of a study aimed at identifying if teaching object-oriented programming (OOP) to irregular students requires a different approach based on the characteristics of their final projects. A study of software metrics in 38 students’ projects who were divided in two groups, regular and irregular was conducted. A statistical t test was used to measure the difference of the metrics between the groups. Only the percentage of comments and the number of classes had a significant difference. The
study concludes that there is no significant difference between the characteristics of both groups, so a different approach in teaching the OOP course to irregular students is not required.
