fun.Instructor PerspectiveI analyzed 10 pair programming projects from fall 2006, 8 projects from fall 2007, 4 projectsfrom fall 2008, and 5 projects from fall 2009. The programs were compared to individuallyproduced programs in the areas of design quality, number of defects, and code style consistency.In the area of design quality I looked for things like modularity and efficiency of the code. Ifound little difference between the individual and pair produced programs. This was especiallytrue for the “A” and “B” students. For the poorer students, there was a definite improvementwhen paired with a better student. In the few cases where poorer students were paired together,what was most significant was that they were more likely to complete the whole

Readingdatasheets provided an additional challenge. There were several positive outcomes, includingthe use of lab notebooks to review topics from previous labs as well as trouble shootingexperiences.Every group successfully completed the “brawn” part the robot project and competed in achallenge (See Appendix B).

In itsoriginal form, it consisted of 30 statements (see Appendix A), but after a focus group study, itwas revised to contain 31 statements (one deleted and two added, see Appendix B). In addition,the students answer seven demographics questions. The instrument asks students to respond tothe statements on a 5-point Likert Scale in which they examine how they perceive themselves inthinking and behavior pertaining to the leadership/entrepreneurial skills that are introduced andpracticed in the leadership curriculum. For that reason, the statements are worded in first-personso that students respond in regards to their perceptions of themselves as leaders rather than theirunderstanding what leadership “is” or “is

The method of analysis for the data collected fromthis project was an Analysis of Variance (ANOVA The ANOVA, both factorial and one-way, used the General Linear Model (GLM).The GLM was selected because the data are arranged in categories. The method isessentially a form of regression, evaluating the distance from an “expected mean”,however the expected mean was not based upon the slope of a “y = mx+b” sort of line.Instead of determining the “expected value” of y from the x-position, the expected valueof y is
