You may collaborate on this homework with AT MOST one person, an optional "homework buddy".

MAY ONLY BE TURNED IN IN THE LECTURE/LAB LISTED ABOVE AS THE DUE DATE,
OR IF APPLICABLE, SUBMITTED ON GRADESCOPE. There is NO MAKEUP for missed assignments;
in place of that, we drop the lowest scores (if you have zeros, those are the lowest scores.)

Recollect a scenerio from your open lab hours where a student from the class approached you for help. Try to choose the most interesting/challenging encouter you have had so far.

(a)(10 pts) Describe the student’s problem:

(b)(10 pts)Explain how you assisted the student:

(c)(20 pts) Reflect on your interaction with the student. Describe what you did well. Identify areas for improvement.
Read chapter 2 “How experts differ from novices” from the book “How people learn”, download at https://www.nap.edu/download/9853#. Then answer the following questions:

(a)(20 pts) According to the author, what are some key differences between experts and novices that affects their ability to solve problems?

(b)(20 pts) How can you use the “think aloud” method of solving problems when tutoring students?

(c)(20 pts)On page 44 (last para), the author says “Expertise in a particular domain does not guarantee that one is good at helping others learn it. In fact, expertise can sometimes hurt teaching because many experts forget what is easy and what is difficult for students.” What kind of knowledge helps teaching? Discuss.
