  abstract =     "Programs that use animations or visualizations attract
                 student interest and offer feedback that can enhance
                 different learning styles as students work to master
                 programming and problem solving. In this paper we
                 report on several CS 1 assignments we have used
                 successfully at Duke University to introduce or
                 reinforce control constructs, elementary data
                 structures, and object-based programming. All the
                 assignments involve either animations by which we mean
                 graphical displays that evolve over time, or
                 visualizations which include static display of
                 graphical images. The animations do not require
                 extensive programming by students since students use
                 classes and code that we provide to hide much of the
                 complexity that drives the animations. In addition to
                 generating enthusiasm, we believe the animations assist
                 with mastering the debugging process.",
