When I ask people to code FizzBuzz I:
- give them ~30 minutes on their own machine
- they get to pick the language they code in
- I leave the room for large parts of it
- I bring them a drink
- I tell them I want to see what they can do and that I don't care if they complete it
- permit them to search on the internet (as long as they don't copy/paste a solution)
I see this usually:
- they finish in a few minutes
- they just can't do it, even with hints
- arethuza 2y agoYes that sounds pretty sensible. Do you ever have a conversation with these people as to why they think they couldn't do it?
- johnnyanmac 2y ago> permit them to search on the internet really? they get 30 minutes + internet and they couldn't google "javascript how to get divisible by 3"? That's just bad research at that point.
