Comments on: PRIMM: encouraging talk in programming lessons https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/primm-talk-in-programming-lessons-research-seminar/ Teach, learn and make with Raspberry Pi Sun, 19 Sep 2021 16:09:00 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.2.2 By: Richard Ash https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/primm-talk-in-programming-lessons-research-seminar/#comment-1548256 Mon, 21 Dec 2020 23:16:57 +0000 https://www.raspberrypi.org/?p=65416#comment-1548256 This is I think much more like how I learned to write useful code (aged 18, in my first job) than most teaching I experienced subsequently (at University). I was presented with someone else’s program, which didn’t work, and it needed to in order for my job to get done. So I “fiddled with” the code until it did work!
The difference with other people’s code is you don’t have to figure out what to put on the blank page – just to have an opinion on how to make it better! Probably best if the original code author isn’t in the room at the time!
