Questions and answers

Your students will have a lot of questions about:

Selecting pairs

Make sure students select their partner before heading over to the lab. Try and get them into pairs with someone of the same level to begin with.

Making faces

You’ll probably want to cover a basic demonstration of writing C code. Start off by discussing the hello world program covered in lectures.

We recommend covering the making faces activity during the tutorial or as a demonstration at the start of the lab.

During the lab

Any activities not completed during the tutorial should be completed during the lab by the students in pairs. Labs will be completed in pairs with one person logged in. Get them to alternate who types for each activity. Only one student needs to submit this week, but from week 2 on-wards, both students in pairs should be submitting all code written each week in pairs.
