  abstract =     "A typical CS2 course has two goals that often work at
                 cross-purposes. One goal is to teach students how to
                 apply a variety of software engineering skills to
                 create solutions to real-world problems. A second goal
                 is to teach students the theory and practice behind
                 classical algorithms and data structures. The use of
                 small, short-term programming assignments, however,
                 tends to sacrifice the first goal in favor of the
                 second. We successfully experimented with solving this
                 problem by organizing a CS2 course around a programming
                 project that spanned an entire term. This paper
                 describes the project, our experiences in using it, and
                 the reactions of the students.",
