What is the role of documentation in design projects?

Back

Documentation helps keep track of sketches, ideas, and changes, ensuring that all team members are aligned and can refer back to previous work.

Front

Why are team norms important in group projects?

Back

Team norms set expectations for how group members will interact, collaborate, and manage tasks, leading to a more effective and harmonious working environment.

Front

What is the role of the driver in pair programming?

Back

The driver writes the code.

Front

What is the role of the navigator in pair programming?

Back

The navigator reviews the code written by the driver and provides guidance.

Front

Why is it important to test your design repeatedly during the building process?

Back

Repeated testing helps troubleshoot problems, ensures the design meets requirements, and allows for improvements.

Front

What does it mean to troubleshoot a design?

Back

To identify and resolve issues or problems that arise during the design or building process.

Front

What is the purpose of documenting design sketches?

Back

To provide a record of ideas and changes that can be referenced later, ensuring clarity and continuity in the design process.

Front

What is the difference between a driving gear and a driven gear?

Back

The driving gear is the larger gear that provides motion, while the driven gear is the smaller gear that receives motion from the driving gear.

Front

What is pair programming?

Back

A collaborative programming technique where two programmers work together at one workstation, with one writing code (the driver) and the other reviewing it (the navigator).
