Teaching first semester students about C is surprisingly hard. How do you explain the concepts of variables or loops when they didn't understand your first three attempts at it?

@NerdResa curious, where is C used directly in the first semester? All universities I know start with some language (like Java) to explain the very basics with a similar syntax to C (assuming zero programming knowledge and experience) and progress to C,C++,etc in later semesters

@ng0 TU Berlin. There were reasons behind that choice, like I think the students need C for some other course in the first year.

@NerdResa Ah, okay. I imagine this to be challenging, here at the university of applied science they start very low, with Java.
