We convinced one (new) staff to actually make the students write their own programs. Simple Data Structures. Linked Lists, Double Linked Lists, Binary Trees, etc. Result? Three months were down, and 90% of the class was *still struggling with doubly linked lists*. That was not counting those who still hadn't been able to get Singly linked lists to work. Most of which was, mind you - still copied - from other students (unofficially). The staff are not entirely to blame. They're 'just doing their job' - which is to help students get 'marks', and not to actually get them to learn anything. -- Yuvi Panda T http://yuvi.in/blog _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
