The question being who's the best teacher, you or that other person? ;-D I'm realizing my approach is to use a lot of scaffolding. That version of the Q&A I posted earlier in this thread, using assert/except, might figure in upcoming courses, with the challenges I mentioned. Showing multiple solutions to the same challenge, in advance of asking students to role their own, has a lot of appeal. I welcome this thread for having stimulated more than the usual number of brain cells (8? 10?). It was my good fortune to hobnob with Guido for a couple hours this evening, in this hotel lobby in Vilnius (where I am still to this late hour, jet lag be damned, chatting with my fellow geeks -- learning a lot). Hey thanks Guido, for being such a Benevolent DFL. And my thanks to Aiste, Laura et al, for putting your talents to good use in creating this Europython. Y'all're awesome. http://mybizmo.blogspot.com/2007/07/europython-hqs.html Kirby _______________________________________________ Edu-sig mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/edu-sig
