Students did the reading: Instructor comments “I assigned readings due every two weeks. I noticed a difference. The students would ask more involved questions… lecture reviewed the basics, but went more in depth -- covering the exceptions and unusual cases.” “…students read before class. The questions students asked in lecture seemed to be less about syntax and more about design and high-level concepts.” 8 of 10 Copyright © 2015 Alex Edgcomb, UC Riverside.
