Have students implement a rotating substitution cipher in Java that encrypts and decrypts strings in an assignment that gives them practice manipulating strings in a real-world context.
Reiterate key concepts, such as the base case/recursive case pattern, every time you go through a recursion problem to solidify them in students’ memories.
Specify how students can respectfully disagree with you to let them know you are interested in their opinion and to create a better learning environment where students feel free to express themselves.
