Perhaps we can group sophomores with freshmen. The sophomores are tasked with solving the problems and the freshmen are tasked with typing out the code. It also primes the seemingly naturally introverted programmers for group based activity that will benefit them in the long run.
I think this is an awful idea because the average freshman will learn from the output of the average sophomore, which is not good at all.

It works for a variety of reasons, including more one-on-one time and the fact that you learn best what you teach (yes, the sophomores will be learning, too).
