  abstract =     "``From an instructor's perspective (and also from the
                 student's perspective) a course is rarely satisfying
                 unless there is some 'big idea' that seems to hold the
                 disparate elements together.'' [3,Pg.78]. This big idea
                 is often lacking in a traditional introductory abstract
                 data type (ADT) course, as students frequently perceive
                 it to be a study of disjoint topics --- a collection of
                 ADTs. This paper proposes a context, indeed a
                 methodology, for providing a unifying view of the
                 topics and their significance, while suggesting an
                 emphasis on the abstract nature, and design, of ADT's.
                 Simultaneously, it supports a set of broad themes and
                 recurring concepts which offer a unifying perspective
                 on the pair of courses CS1 and CS2, and which establish
                 fundamental ideas and skills pervasive throughout
                 further studies in computing science.",
