Guided Practice

Guided practice is a pedagogical technique for increasing classroom preparedness. Worksheets are given to students that include the following basic components.

  • Overview / Assigned Reading
  • Basic Learning Objectives
  • Advanced Learning Objectives
  • Pre-class Exercises

Students use these worksheets to guide their reading and complete the pre-class exercises before class.

Available Worksheets

Worksheets have been developed for three separate computer science courses.

A GitHub repository with all of the worksheets is also coming soon to allow for outside contributors to add to and improve the selection of worksheets.
