| Dec 14, 2011 at 12:25 | comment | added | David Pfeffer | I think this is really the answer. I might still go on reputation, but I'll base it on questions as well as answers. I might even insist that I won't answer programming questions via email -- only via StackOverflow and only if they're not duplicates. | |
| Dec 14, 2011 at 10:41 | comment | added | Pekka | I still think the OP's experiment is worth trying out if the students aren't complete novices and there is a great amount of motivation and dedication among them, but this is definitely the canonical answer - having SO rep as an optional achievement is going to work much better in so many scenarios | |
