  abstract = {Novice learners of programming tend to neglect error messages, even though the messages have a lot of useful information for solving problems.  While there exists research that aims to user-friendly error messages by changing the wording and by adding visual assistance, most of them do not focus on drawing learners' attention to error messages.  We propose \emph{the enbugging quiz}, a novel quiz format that requests the learner to craft a program that produces a specified error.  This paper reports our design of enbugging quizzes and reports the results of our initial experiment, where we observed positive effects on the learners' attitudes towards error messages.},
