Feedback:
Pro:
- Parson's problems were fun
- Parson's problems lead to good discussion
- Parson's problems were faster / easier than 'write code from
scratch' problems
- Effective use of color in the slides was helpful in understanding
stuff
Con:
- Parson's problems were very picky (indentation)
- Parson's problems were unable to accept alternate, valid, answers
(var x; var y; must be declared in the correct, arbitrary order)
My Take:
- Essentially, it's a way to get them to look at an example in
detail.
It's interactive, it forces them to look at things
closely, and it takes less time than coding it up by hand.
- It is a bit of a stickler (and there's no obvious, easy way to
allow for multiple, correct versions)
- It may be tedious over time (after the initial 'ooo! fun!'
wears off)
- Better for covering stuff near the start of the quarter, rather
than at the end
More ideas:
- Storage & retrieval
- Add new items to the end of the array, then list or search
them?
- parallel arrays?
- grades & names
- print matching
- print highest/lowest
- detect palindrome?
