AB  - In a typical lower-division programming course, students rarely see other students’ code outside of a paired programming exercise. This limits their exposure to the potentially powerful learning experience of seeing examples from other programmers. In this work, we explore the result of having required code sharing via discussion posts to increase a student’s exposure to coding solutions, styles and practices (both good and bad). For each module in a Data Structures and Algorithms course, students post a small section of code, typically a single method or function, and also get to see the code posted from every other student in the class. They can choose to share a section of code that worked particularly well for them or submit code they are struggling with and want some help. The students are then required to respond to entries posted by other students. This creates a dialog between students and provides a mechanism for students to see how other students are coding a solution. The code students submit is from a low-stakes assignment. Students are allowed to see other student’s submissions from the very beginning. They are not required to have completed the assignment or posted their own code to enter the discussion board. To identify the benefits of this assignment, the comments during one semester are analyzed and the results tracked over the course of the semester. The code posted is analyzed for a variety of quality markers such as variable names, commenting, syntax errors, logic errors, correctness, and handling of edge cases. The responses are analyzed for effective error corrections, alternative solutions provided, formatting changes recommended, etc. There is also an analysis of student expressions. Finally, and perhaps most interesting of all is how these details change over the course of the semester.
