Principle #7 - Foster Program Comprehension

Readings

• pp 76-87 from BBCP
  • The Block Model
  • Parson's Problems
  • Writing Code
  • The I in PRIMM
• I encourage you to read some of the referenced research literature from this section, but I am not asking you to formally complete anything this week.

Writing

As you read the different readings this week I would like you to take notes regarding what stands out to you in each of the sections. Then, to help you start to make sense of the week's readings as a whole I would like you to complete a summary based on "the 3-2-1 approach" :

• Discuss THREE new ideas that stood out to you as you completed the readings.
• Discuss TWO things that you already knew about but that were deepened or reinforced as you completed the readings.
• Discuss ONE question you would still want answered by your instructor (or your peers depending on the situation).

Submission

I will be grading this on purely a 1/0 basis.  You get credit for submitting something "on time" and that shows that you put time and effort/thought into crafting a meaningful response. 

I do not see there being any right or wrong answers in this activity.  Similarly, length of your answer does not necessarily correlate with the quality of your answers.  Instead, I will be looking to see if you have considered a broad set of ideas/concepts for this reflection and will be looking at the clarity with which you have crafted your response(s).  This includes things like spelling, grammar, formatting, etc.

Please submit this via Blackboard by the end of the week.
