- Activity:
- Students start by working in pairs on an assignment.
- After a substantial amount of time (perhaps a few days to a few weeks) break students up into new pairs.
- Each pair can decide which repository of code they want to use.
- This motivates students to write clear, easy-to-read code because they want their code to be picked so they can continue working on it.
