  abstract =     "Cornell, like most other large schools, has been
                 struggling with the problem of introductory programming
                 instruction for years. The problem is not yet solved
                 but in the last few years we have done some
                 experimenting and seem to have made some progress. The
                 situation seems worth reporting so that others can
                 perhaps benefit from what has been successful and avoid
                 what has not. The major problems seem to be volume and
                 variety. Pedagogical techniques that are obviously
                 effective with small classes are sometimes impractical
                 when faced with more than a thousand students per year.
                 This may be largely a question of economics, since one
                 could presumably allocate enough resources to the task
                 to have small classes, but this is just not realistic
                 at Cornell and the real question becomes one of finding
                 practical large-scale techniques. For example, the
                 central computing facility at Cornell (a 360/65 under
                 OS/HASP) cannot support a sufficient number of
                 interactive terminals to make that mode of instruction
                 practical. Hence our solution must operate within the
                 constraint of a conventional non-inter-active computer
                 service.",
