Coding Exercises¶
Suppose your students are to write a program that calculates a series of square numbers:
1 4 9 16 25 36 49 ...
For you, the solution is easy to implement. But if you show them the solution directly, it goes into their brain and out again:
However, asking them to write the program from scratch themselves is too difficult:
Ideally, you want to develop exercises that are:
clear enough that they can focus on new concepts or commands
difficult enough that the students need to think
easy enough that they can find the solution themselves
You also want more advanced students to try alternative implementations:
