Getting more oomph from programming exercises — education, research
| -UncategorizedAlan L. Tharp
Abstract:
Much attention has been given to the content of introdutory computer science courses, but based on a perusal of introductory textbooks, it appears that somewhat less attention has been given to the programming exercises to be used in these courses. Programming exercises can be modified to provide a better educational experience for the student. An examlpe of how atypical programming exercises were incorporated into an introductory programming language course is described.
