Watch Speaking of Code live in action
The teacher does not teach in the role play; he acts as the developer’s client. He does not correct the student’s mistakes. He saves his critique for the Feedback Session.
After the role play, the student watches their recording and writes a summary email. In the Feedback Session, the teacher and student discuss the problems encountered in the role play and how to be more effective.
Speaking of Code students:
- Gain confidence participating in meetings
