Tips and Techniques

Overview: ITiCSE attendees have many valuable ideas to share about practical educational approaches that work well for them - a particular assignment, a method of assessment, a class activity, a pedagogical tool. Such ideas may not warrant a full paper at the conference. Therefore, in order to make them available for the entire community, the ITiCSE program will include, for the fourth consecutive year, our popular Tips & Techniques session(s). They consist of short presentations (8 minutes), each of which explains the goal, the application, and the results of a particular tip or technique. Each idea will be supported by a one-page summary that will appear in the proceedings.
