Oh I'm not dismissing flashcards as not a worthwhile endeavor, quite the opposite. Check out the other comment I made in this thread (or through my profile) on different modes of engagement. If anything, I believe we DON'T do enou

That's where I think specifically the Active exercises can help. We gave students in a CS2 optional typing practice throughout the semester [1]. These students performed better on exams, made higher learning gains and uploaded less bug

Nice work! Steganography is always one of the topics I introduce at the end of CS1, since they've learned all the bits and pieces on how to do it. Its fun to watch their minds get blown over something like this and go "you can DO

You want a combination of learning activities. So, you wouldn't give students ONLY typing practice for the top. Rather, typing practice, some low level multiple choice/code tracing activities, and traditional programming tasks. Wh
