in thread Good Textbook for Teaching Perl?

I thought I remember you mentioning in the Llama that the lessons were about 45 minutes each. The college has us meeting 3.5 hours per night once a week for 16 weeks (15 classes + final). Even if I slow the lessons down to 1.5 hours (which I would have to do for my own sake), I'm not so fluent as to be able to pack the rest of each 3.5 hour class. Do you have suggestions as to what I can do to fill the rest of that time?

Thanks!
MrCromeDome

UPDATE: You seem to answer this exact thing below. Next time I'll read the whole thread before replying...

Thanks, merlyn and allolex!

    I am (clearly!) not merlyn, but what I like to do in a situation like that is to go over one or two sample programs during the longer time; then I have the class work as a group (or in small groups) to write a program using the lesson's techniques.
