During a research study conducted over four semesters, students enrolled in an introductory programming class at a commuter campus used the pair-programming approach for both in-class labs and out-of-class programming assignments. This study was a comprehensive assessment of pair-programming using multiple measures of both quantitative and qualitative feedback about students' experiences with pair-programming. The results show that overwhelmingly, students reported positive reactions to working with a partner using the pair-programming paradigm. As expected at a commuter campus, the most common challenge students reported was difficulty of coordinating schedules. This article provides the results of the study and offers suggestions for managing pair-programming on a commuter campus. (Contains 4 tables and 1 figure.)
