Ooo new idea for teaching programming!
Okay, it’s not a *new* idea I’m sure.
But griping about grading on the LinuxChix IRC channel…people reminded me of the whole…switch quizzes around and let other students grade it…
Next time I run little practical quizzes that’s what I’m going to do. I’m going to make them debug and grade each other’s work. Maybe they’ll see what a headache they gave me with their weird code. Or maybe they’ll be able to debug; that is, forced to learn to debug.
Man, unfortunately I have to wait until next semester because only one more class with my programmers…but, it’s Intro C again so … that’s a good start.
And I’m also teaching intro to computer hardware…shall I wing it, the whole class through?
