Solving Homework in Pairs

Hi Nadav (and all)!

I'd like to continue to discuss whether the solving homework in pairs paradigm 
in university courses is good or bad.

Here:

You said that:

<<<<<<<<<<
but in previous discussions here, we
agreed to disagree about the merits of "pair programming" ;-) The most
basic problem with this method is that it's *not* pair programming - usually
the pair doesn't work together, but rather divide the exercise and do each
part separately. I wrote about my more fundamental problem with this approach
in http://nadav.harel.org.il/homepage/musing/educooperation

Well, as I noted in my reply here - 
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/hackers-il/message/4753 - we did not 
explicitly say that we agree to disagree about it, even though that may have 
been the way you recalled it.

I later compiled my reasons as presented in that email here - 
http://xrl.us/woh3 . I'd love to hear what you think about it.

Best Regards,
