  abstract =     "The case method of teaching is used to encourage
                 continued use of computers and programming in a
                 student's major area after the initial course(s) in
                 computer programming. The computer case demonstrates
                 the real-life need for the computer application,
                 promotes independent problem-solving and computer code
                 generation, and exposes the student to a broad spectrum
                 of educational experiences. The flexibility of
                 classroom operation provided to the instructor by the
                 case method permits efficient introduction of
                 supplementary content material and provides the
                 instructor with the opportunity to custom classroom
                 discussion to elicit the maximum change in student
                 performance with a minimum of time. The teaching of
                 extended program applications in courses using the
                 computer, beyond the basic computer programming
                 courses, suffers in many curricula for a number of
                 reasons: lack of student interest, student ``fear'' of
                 programming, lack of instructor training in use of the
                 computer, inability of instructors to relate the
                 computer application to an existing need in real-life,
                 excess time and effort for major project programming,
                 and others. One approach to the teaching of computer
                 applications which can alleviate many of these
                 difficulties is the use of computer cases.",
