  abstract =     "In an attempt to improve the teaching and learning of
                 first year programming, a weekly one-hour discussion
                 class was added in 1996 to the lectures and
                 microcomputer laboratory sessions that students
                 attended. Discussion classes were held in classrooms
                 without computers, and students were provided with
                 enjoyable activities to perform in small groups. The
                 activities forced discussion of new programming
                 concepts, and helped students to clarify their
                 understanding of them. The tutors' role was to provoke
                 discussion rather than simply providing answers.
                 Student results that year showed an improvement. In
                 1997, for financial reasons, the discussion classes
                 were discontinued, and student results deteriorated. As
                 a consequence, discussion classes have been reinstated
                 in 1998. The language used to implement the programming
                 concepts in each of these years was C++.",
