Homework 4: Pair-Programming Ground Rules

Before you start working together, take some time to discuss how you are going to work as a pair. That conversation is the point of this page; the contract below is just where you write down what you agreed.

Review the Pair-Programming Policy first, then fill this contract in together.

One person types; both of you agree.

What you write here is saved for both of you—unlike some projects, you don't have to submit your own separate form or add the second person to the submission. The page records who saved last and keeps every earlier version, so you can change your minds without losing anything.
