This paper proposes an experimental study to compare the effectiveness of a closed laboratory co-requisite for CS1 when the laboratory corequisite is taught by the same instructor as the lecture and when it is not. The published research in the area of effectiveness of closed labs is reviewed and the plan for an experimental study is detailed.
