      Last month we launched something at Lambda School called “mastery based progression,” where if a student doesn’t grasp material he or she can simply repeat that week in a small group, led by a paid, graduated student. The extra practice does wonders, for both sets of students.pic.twitter.com/VhMnhp33ft

      My curiosity is what attention is spent on the process that the students apply in attempting to master the material. Setting it out might make student failures less likely, while also giving future instructors a clear framework from which to assess and guide students.

      Too if you clarified the weakneses in the procesess, you could either/and test for them coming in, or create remedial material which addresses them. Some folk because of prior experiences do not have much of a concept of "mastery based" learning/teaching.

          By the way, here is a book on C you might find interesting: http://aop.cs.cornell.edu/  It is unique for how it builds up mental models of computation as it goes along, including the mental model it presents for pointers. It is what I will use when I eventually get round to C.

          Too it presents one of the few models of problem-solving within programming, that I have found to be useful.
