  abstract =     "At Oklahoma State University ALGOL68 is taught to
                 students whose background in programming consists
                 primarily of programming in FORTRAN. Frequently, they
                 have had some experience with PL/1 although it is not
                 so extensive as their experience with FORTRAN. PL/1 is
                 usually the only block structured language to which the
                 students have been exposed. The students who study
                 ALGOL68 are typically seniors, although there are some
                 graduate students, and an occasional lowerclassman.
                 Almost none of these students has any experience with
                 ALGOL 60 or any ALGOL-like language at the time he
                 begins his study of ALGOL68. About half of them have
                 had limited experience with formal specification of
                 programming languages. The students learn ALGOL68 in
                 one of three formats depending upon the number of
                 students enrolled at a given time. The most elaborate
                 treatment is given when there are enough students to
                 justify a faculty member spending one-quarter of his
                 time teaching the class as a special topics lecture
                 course. This is the mode of instruction that is
                 preferred by the students. A smaller group of students
                 covers the same material in a seminar format rather
                 than a lecture format; the students in the seminar do
                 not have the same access to faculty as do students in a
                 special topics lecture course. The final mode of
                 instruction is individual study; it is this
                 instructional format which is used when only one or two
                 students enroll for ALGOL68. In this format the
                 students work almost entirely on their own except that
                 they do have access to a faculty member when they
                 cannot adequately resolve their questions.",
