As a university teacher of programming, I give a lot of emphasis on
layout and comments. Students are given a Style Guide-Lines document
to help them reach the required standard and this gives lots of
helpful hints. Furthermore, programs are marked on several criteria,
including comments. The final grade is the LOWEST from all the
marking criteria, so that poor comments are not redeemable by high
marks elsewhere. They are required to take a Software Design course
in parallel with the programming course and the work for the two
courses are tied together. In this way I hope to encourage good S/W
Engineering principles from day one.
