In this paper, our experience in developing learner-centered technical review techniques in programming courses is described. To better serve educational purposes, our learner-centered technical reviews define review artifact, review outcomes, expectation and format, etc according to the levels of programming course. Our learner-centered technical reviews have been proven to be very effective i...
