The syllabus looks interesting. I notice your emphasis on not allowing others to "look at" a student's solution. Given that most coding these days involves teamwork, pair programming, or at least, code reviews, are you considering any pair-programming or small team projects in future iterations of the class? I believe some universities have moved toward incorporating some team or partner projects to help overcome the "loner" stereotype of programmers, and draw more women and other populations to the major. > I'm looking forward to interacting with you all (and I'm embarrassed > that it took me so long to find this list). Welcome! Perhaps we'll meet you at PyCon next year? (It'll be in Chicago again next spring.) -- cordially, Anna -- Walking through the water. Trying to get across.
