Paired Programming for Non-Computing Students.
Paired Programming for Non-Computing Students.
In this paper, we describe a method used to teach non-computer science students how to program. We examine why students may not be engaging with the material and present an alternative method for conducting laboratory sessions. We allow students to self select their perceived level of expertise and use paired programming techniques. This has proved to be effective on several levels, engaging students and reducing demonstrator loading.

Abstract
In this paper, we describe a method used to teach non-computer science students how to program. We examine why students may not be engaging with the material and present an alternative method for conducting laboratory sessions. We allow students to self select their perceived level of expertise and use paired programming techniques. This has proved to be effective on several levels, engaging students and reducing demonstrator loading.
