A behind the scenes look into the birth of TeachScheme!
Since I am in the process of marking exams I can understand the frustration: "We would grade the final product-the programs the students produced-and either they worked or they didn't work. But if the program didn't work, we tried to find some way of giving them proper credit, without knowing whether they had accidentally written down nonsense that looked OK or whether they had just made a little mistake but actually understood what they were trying to accomplish."
I have many questions about and objections to HtDP, but I admire the philosophy and dedication. Don't you?
