Marquardson, Jim; Schuetzler, Ryan M. – Journal of Information Systems Education, 2019
Learning by teaching is a pedagogical technique that encourages mastery of a topic by having students teach each other. Student presentations, group discussions, and face-to-face teaching are frequently used to have students teach their peers. In this paper, we describe the use of a novel assignment to implement learning by teaching. In a course…

Turner, Scott Alexander; Pérez-Quiñones, Manuel A.; Edwards, Stephen H. – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2018
In computer science, students could benefit from exposure to critical programming concepts from multiple perspectives. Peer review is one method to allow students to experience authentic uses of the concepts in an activity that is not itself programming. In this work, we examine how to implement the peer review process in early, object-oriented…
