Teaching Support
Teaching introductory programming is often beset with problems:
- the subject is intrinsically difficult to learn (and teach)
- drop-out and failure rates are high
- remedial teaching is time demanding on student and instructor
- development tools and environments are often part of the problem set.
We've provided resources with the above problems in mind. If you'd like to see other resources
or have any suggestions or contributions to make we'd like to hear from you. Please email
