Educators can leverage draft pull requests and review requests to instill a collaborative mindset and industry best practices in students, as exemplified by a CS1 student, Sarah, working with Dr. Root. Sarah begins her assignment by creating a draft pull request in GitHub, allowing her to iterate on her code with the help of GitHub features such as task lists, mentions for assistance, and integration with testing tools like Travis CI. Once content with her work, she requests feedback by marking the pull request as ready for review, enabling Dr. Root to provide feedback and suggest changes. This iterative process mirrors the industry’s approach to collaboration and continuous improvement in software development. The workflow not only allows educators to monitor students’ progress and identify those needing assistance but also offers various applications, such as providing preliminary feedback or incrementally grading assignments. This method encourages a practice of iteration and improvement, promoting active learning and engagement in software engineering courses.
