Reasons for these???

Classroom engagementAttends all classesStudies the material before coming to classAsks a lots of intelligent questionsThinks aloud and Discuss Solves Problems and Provide Solutions

Reasons for these???

Lab Participation levelAttends all labsThinks aloud and Discuss in groupSolves Problems and Provide SolutionsWrites code himselfCompares his work with peers to fix mistakesUse tools to fix errors

Reasons for these???

Hours of Independent Study

Reads recommended resources Looks for online resources Learns from you-tube videos Spends approx. 1 hour daily on internet looking for new

techniques and technologies Visit codeguru or similar websites Use Cloudera videos

Reasons for these???

Hours of Practice

Plays with Netbeans or Eclipse Thinks about how to solve a problem Write code to test solutions Practices 1-2 hours daily Solves tutorial exercises on weekends Look for similar challenges online Try to work on small scale programming projects
