Title

Pair Programming, Pair Teaching - and beyond

Abstract

In this seminar we will look at Pair Programming, that is one of the practices of eXtreme Programming. We will explain what motivated Kent Beck to introduce it and address the objections that others have brought forth - mainly that it is not cost- effective. We then move on to Pair Teaching, that is one of the practices of eXtreme Teaching, and see how it was inspired from Pair Programming - but also what has to be different in the teaching context. We will give some examples of how and in which situations Pair Teaching can be used. Finally, we will suggest that Pair Studying might be a technique that students could use with good results. We might look at some advantages and drawbacks and examples.

Note

Il seminario si terrà in lingua italiana.
