I would say the same to be true in coding as well. Having some sort of pairing for joint QA or the like may or may not be useful. But not collaboration on the basic HW (which is skill drill, rather than a project anyhows.) | |

| Jan 5, 2016 at 17:02 | comment | added | Jessica B | @JosephO'Rourke On 'just allowing it' - I don't know whether different cultural norms apply, but most of my students collaborate pretty much regardless of what we tell them. | |
| Jan 5, 2016 at 15:15 | comment | added | Daniel R. Collins | @JosephORourke: Recommend you add that information to your question. IME, the default for college math courses is to not have graded homework. | |
| Jan 5, 2016 at 15:14 | comment | added | Daniel R. Collins | @BenCrowell: Just allowing it -- but recommended. | |
| Jan 5, 2016 at 14:51 | comment | added | user507 | Are you talking about requiring group work on homework, or just allowing it? | |
| Jan 5, 2016 at 12:47 | comment | added | Joseph O'Rourke | @DanielR.Collins: Different kettle: graded assignments. | |

| Jan 5, 2016 at 2:13 | comment | added | Daniel R. Collins | "If anyone has experience..." Sure, I highly recommend that students do homework in groups if they can. But homework assignments are neither graded nor scored in my classes (grades are entirely test-based); and this models the entirety of my undergraduate and graduate experiences, for example. If you want group homework and graded homework then that's a different kettle of fish. | |

| Jan 4, 2016 at 18:15 | comment | added | Joseph O'Rourke | @JessicaB: Yes, there is no clear counterpart to the two roles that is central to pair programming. Yes, I was thinking of having students work/brain-storm together, but perhaps write up their conclusions individually. | |
| Jan 4, 2016 at 18:07 | comment | added | Jessica B | What part of pair programming do you want to reproduce? A quick scan of the start of the Wikipedia article you link to suggests they key point is that the two people are performing different roles during the process. What roles do you want to assign for maths? Or are you just thinking about having students work together? | |
