Abstract: We report on our experience implementing Peer Instruction (PI) in a remedial first-year computer science (CS) course in a large North American research university. Quantitative analysis of question data shows modest learning gains following group discussion; qualitative survey data show student endorsement and appreciation for the PI model. We urge the continued study and adoption of PI in CS, and make our reading quizzes and ConcepTests freely available as a takeoff point.
