Pair programming is the software engineering term for when two people collaborate and interact to create a software solution. Both partners must take equal responsibility for reading the class notes, reading the assignment requirements, typing code, reviewing their partner's code, planning the direction of the project, etc. For the purposes of our course, pair programming requires that all of your work is done with your partner at the same computer at the same time. One person should be typing, and one person should be directing; each person is responsible for all parts of the project. It is not allowable to have one person work on the first half and the other work on the second. Again, both partners must be actively working together at the same time for all aspects of the problem set.
