How I Teach

Read Original

This article details the author's personal journey and methodology for teaching programming. After reading 'Make It Stick: The Science of Successful Learning,' he radically changed his approach to focus on long-term retention. He explains key concepts like 'Generation' and 'Desirable Difficulties,' and describes his practice of having students attempt exercises *before* learning the concepts to prepare their brains for more effective learning.
