Active Coding

• “Binding credit for student participation to pre-class preparatory work enables class time to
  be spent in answering informed student questions and participating in in-depth discussions.
  Ensuring that students are prepared for class maximizes engagement during class time: the
  session becomes an interactive and dynamic experience where student pedagogical needs and
  reflections are explored.”
