abstract = "Faced with the challenge of teaching large numbers of
students without sacrificing quality, we have developed
a complete ``package'' for teaching introductory
computer science. This package consists of textbooks,
notes, problem sets, labtutorial arrangements,
instructional software, and visual aids for lectures,
all developed at the University of Waterloo.The
textbooks are ``FORTRAN IV WITH WATFOR AND WATFIV'' and
``AN INTRODUCTION TO THE SPECTRE COMPUTER''. The first
text provides a thorough introduction to FORTRAN
programming, whereas the second describes a
hypothetical computer used for teaching purposes to
introduce concepts in assembly language programming and
machine organization. Notes supplement the texts by
covering elementary ideas from boolean algebra,
switching and automata theory, and hardware design.
Consequently, we endeavour in this course to introduce
students to various aspects of computer science, not
just programming.Nevertheless, programming is a major
part of computer science, and we feel that considerable
hands-on experience is essential to a student's
education. We provide unlimited access to the computer
for all students with a turnaround time between one and
two minutes for small jobs. This service is made
possible by our fast FORTRAN compiler, WATFOR, which
permits the computing centre to process between 3000
and 7000 undergraduate jobs daily on an IBM S/360 model
75. In addition, we simulate the SPECTRE machine via an
interpreter, also with unlimited access to students.For
lectures, we have prepared substantial lecture material
in a set of 35 mm slides. We feel that this mode of
presentation has numerous advantages for a large
multi-section course, some of which are better
visibility for students, easy review possibilities,
lecturer cues, uniformity throughout the various
sections, and improvement of presentation by new and
inexperienced lecturers.This course is offered to
approximately 1300 students yearly at Waterloo. Each
student has two hours of lectures per week, as well as
biweekly tests and problem sessions in alternate weeks.
In order to assist us in the development of our
package, we try to obtain as much student feedback as
possible through the distribution of an extensive
questionnaire to all students taking the course.",

development in the next decade will be determined both
by specific technical issues internal to the discipline
and by the ``sociology'' of a growing discipline whose
great practical utility has tended to overshadow the
intrinsic conceptual richness of the subject matter.
Educational policy in computer science should be
governed in part by practical considerations such as
the supply and demand of computer scientists, in part
by general considerations of educational purpose and
educational policy, and in part by technical
considerations concerning specific subject matter, The
present discussion is deliberately biased towards an
``ideal'' world where questions of educational purpose
and motivation take precedence over practical
considerations. Four aspects of computer science are
considered below, each of which is loosely related to
graduate education.",

abstract = "The purpose of this paper is to assess realistically
and practically the merits and demerits of Fortran as
the language to be used in a first course in computer
science. To do this computer science education is first
considered as a process in which successive courses
should aim at increasingly greater depth of
understanding as in, for example, mathematics
education. Then the aims of first courses in computer
science are considered. It is concluded that Fortran is
a quite adequate vehicle for the student to use in
writing programs. It is further concluded that, despite
its manifest imperfections, Fortran is also adequate
for the purpose of teaching programming language
concepts and programming techniques. Thus, it is
finally concluded that, since Fortran will continue to
be with us, it can be used, warts and all, and that the
best should be made of it. Even if a weed, Fortran has
surely not prevented the blooming of more than one
hundred other flowers (i.e., computer languages). But,
in terms of ubiquity, these other flowers almost all
are puny growths indeed. Except for Cobol, Fortran is
clearly the most used higher level language today. And
it stands preeminent as the language most often taught
in college and university first courses in computer
science and ``for 'scientific' problems...it will
probably remain (the most important programming
language) for some period of time'' (3). Yet we have
such statements as ``Fortran is dead'' (6) and ``It is
remarkable that it would be difficult to find a
language that would meet these important requirements
(natural and clear expression of program structure and
data, exhibition of basic features and structuring
principles) to a lesser degree than...Fortran'' (8). My
purpose here is neither to bury Fortran nor to praise
it but to try to assess realistically and practically
its usefulness in a first course in computer science. I
was originally moved to write this article by the
recent article of Wirth (8) which I consider to be a
beautiful exposition of an ideal in program
construction and instruction. But, while I do not
disagree, except perhaps in emphasis, with the
quotation above from this article, I think this
quotation, if taken literally, implies something quite
wrong about the value of Fortran in a first course in
computer science by implying something pedagogically
incorrect about teaching programming. I shall try to
elucidate this below. Yes, Fortran is dead in the sense
that Rosin (6)means, namely that ``intellectually it is
dead.'' But in this sense so is calculus dead in all of
the wide variety of courses taught to college freshmen
and high school seniors. So what? The purpose of first
courses in calculus is not and cannot be to teach
students material on the intellectual frontier of
mathematics. Can it be said of calculus, any more than
of Fortran, that its current use in an introductory
course ``tends to propagate its intellectual
moribundity'' (6)? The trouble with such negative
remarks about the use of Fortran in introductory
programming courses is not that they are too critical
of Fortran but rather that they display a
misunderstanding of the teaching of almost any subject
with some intellectual depth by postulating a pedagogic
ideal which can be attained with few, if any students.
It is natural when teaching any introductory course to
wish to maximize the intellectual content of the course
by presenting, in addition to material on purely
mechanical skills, subject matter of real intellectual
content. But it is folly to expect the beginning
student to grasp significant concepts in depth. (Or, if
this is possible, then the depth is not very great; if
this is the case in computer science, then perhaps we
should rethink our pretensions that it is a
discipline.) For example, it is not expected that the
graduate of a first year course in calculus will
understand what a derivative is in depth although he
may be very proficient in mechanical differentiation. I
recall myself only realizing, after taking courses in
advanced calculus and real analysis, how little I had
really understood the concept of derivative when I had
first studied it in an introductory course. It is in a
similar context that we must look at the teaching of
programming. The objectives of a first course in
computer science must be to teach the student some
conceptual aspects of programming, programming
languages and computer science in addition to teaching
him how to use a particular language. But unless and
until we are willing to admit that there are
programming language concepts which, while they may be
{$<$ u$>$ introduced$<$}/{u$>$} in a first course,
cannot be expected to be {$<$ u$>$
understood$<$}/{u$>$} in depth by the vast majority of
students until later, more advanced courses, there is
danger that attempts will be made to make the first
course something it cannot and should not be. And we
shall run the danger of falling into the same trap as
other disciplines of orienting our teaching so much to
our own majors that we shall ill serve the majority who
are non-majors, with the inevitable result that an
increasing number of non-computer science departments
will decide to teach (badly) programming to their own
majors. Of course, the current problem with most
introductory courses in computer science is not that
they attempt too much but rather too little. But an
increasing number of first courses, particularly at
leading universities, are attempting to teach the first
course at a reasonable intellectual level. It is,
therefore, just at this time during the transition from
the just-teach-a-language course to a real computer
science course that it is important to give some real
thought to what that first course should be and the
place of a language like Fortran in it. In the
remainder of this paper I shall address this
question.",

Science the teaching of computer structures, from an
engineering viewpoint, has continually challenged the
professional educator. This has in a sense presented a
dilemma to him: for digital computer system design
requires a broad look at a variety of configurations,
but also seems to require a comprehensive examination
of individual circuit details in order to remain in a
practical atmosphere. As is well known, such detailed
investigation of many systems is virtually impossible
in the time allotted in most cirricula.Introduction of
the macromodular concept, however, has permitted
individual students, in one or two semesters, to
achieve {$<$ u$>$ realizable$<$}/{u$>$} designs of such
devices as I/O channels, microprogrammed machines,
complete small digital computers, floating point
arithmetic systems and list processing hardware.",

abstract = "While core is becoming relatively inexpensive, there
are applications where program size is important. A
project is described using a PDP 8 which demonstrates
that significant programs can be written with a minimum
of main memory.In learning to program, the students at
many universities have access to a large central
computer. For the most part, they can ignore time and
space requirements in their programs. Usually this is a
valid assumption since computing time is becoming less
expensive; however, with the proliferation of
minicomputers, there are many applications where space
is at a premium, and the programmer must consider this
limitation in his design.At the University of Maryland
a Digital Equipment Corporation PDP 8 computer was made
available to graduate students at the Computer Science
Center. It was a minimum configuration of 4K 12 bit
memory and a teletype. Students were forced to program
for a machine with little main memory and no mass
storage device. One such exercise, which demonstrated
the amount of programming which can be accomplished in
a small memory, will now be described.The PDP 8 memory
is divided into 32 pages of 128 words each. By
convention the top page is not used by any DEC software
other than the binary loader, a program which is used
to load all other software into the machine. This lead
(sic) to the project of having students write debugging
programs which fit into this top page. Since a locally
written binary loader was written in 74 words, that
meant 54 words were available in which the student had
to write an interesting program.The results of that
assignment clearly demonstrated that significant
programs could be written in a minimum of space. Some
of the programs which resulted were: a dump program
which dumped core onto the teletype at 8 words per
line, a modify program which displayed the contents of
a memory location onto the teletype and enabled the
user to change the contents of a location via the
teletype, and a punch program which punched a paper
tape of specified core segments in a format which
enabled it to be reloaded by the binary loader at a
later time. These programs, in a very crude manner,
approximated the facilities available in the standard
DEC debugging program ODT (1), however, each one was
significantly shorter, and only took 10 seconds to load
from a teletype --- thus it was useful for debugging
programs since no high speed I/O device was
available.This example has some important consequences.
While core is becoming less expensive, there are still
applications where size is important. Instructors of
programming courses should not completely lose sight of
that fact. While one shouldn't stress size over all
other considerations, the above exercise shows that
small programs can do relatively powerful things, even
on a relatively simple PDP 8 computer.",

abstract = "Because large file processing applications are the
dominant activity on computers today, it has been a
surprise that computer science departments, and
particularly schools of business, have been so lax in
the attention given to the subject. It is still true
that most students receive training in languages such
as FORTRAN and BASIC, which must certainly color their
opinion of the ability and purpose of computers. Surely
few of us would expect a person who is going to be
employed in commercial computing to be primarily
concerned with the programming of calculations. Rather,
what that person will end up doing is requesting and
examining information stored in a relatively large data
base. It is our contention that such people can be
trained in a manner which is directly transferrable to
problems in large file processing. Moreover, with this
training as the first introduction to computing, one
can place computational algorithm languages in their
proper context in the commercial world. The ASAP
information processing software system, developed by
one of us (Morgan) along with Professors Richard Conway
and William Maxwell at Cornell University, is a tool
for this training. (This software system has been
described in the Computing Newsletter for Schools of
Business, Daniel Couger, Editor, under the title ``Data
Management System Available for Instructional Use.'')
The emergence of the generalized data base management
systems (GDBMS) over the past few years has clearly
been one of the most significant developments in
administrative data processing. These systems had their
origins in the report generators and statistical
packages of the mid-sixties, but are not logically
complete-they are capable of creating and maintaining a
relatively sophisticated data base, as well as
selectively retrieving and updating information in that
data base. Well over a thousand computing installations
have now got more than fifty of these systems running
(see the article by T. William Olle, ``Data Base
Management Systems''', in Datamation, 15 November
1970).",

started for automating introductory computer science
courses. Why should these courses be automated? At the
University of Illinois there are currently about 2000
students per semester taking various introductory
programming courses: engineers, social scientists,
teachers, physical scientists, computer science majors,
etc., each group having its own particular needs. These
courses are taught in sections of about 100 students
each, with an additional hour of discussion in groups
of about 20 students. In our experience it is very
difficult to organize these courses in such a way that
students both learn something and are happy with the
material presented. The main difficulty seems to come
from the fact that a beginning programmer needs a lot
of individual help, and this cannot be provided in
large sections. We are now convinced that these courses
cannot be improved within the current setup, and since
enrollments in these courses are increasing, the
situation is bound to grow worse unless something new
is tried. We assume that the situation we have
described is typical of many large universities.",

students learning computer organizations and
programming languages are usually still working with
the computer through several layers of confusion and
delay. Highly responsive interactive computer systems
have recently become available which make it possible
to create dynamic instructional models of computer
organizations and programming languages. With proper
development of these systems, such models can
economically be used to give the student a more vivid
experience with the computing machine and a more vital
means of learning to program. Models of computer
organization can allow the student to ``see'' the inner
workings of a computing machine as it executes an
instruction or a program which has been entered
mnemonically at the assembly language level. Models of
higher level programming languages can provide the
student with constant ``help'' by presenting
alternatives, checking acceptability of inputs,
supplying amplifications of correct inputs, displaying
syntactic structures to be completed, and prompting him
as necessary at any point. Such models should also help
provide a more productive environment for accomplished
programmers to develop and debug programs. Exploratory
models of each of these types have been implemented on
a small interactive computer system to demonstrate
these techniques.",

about computers, their use, and the role they are

school level. Computers can serve the secondary teacher
as an instructional tool for problem formulation and
problem solution as well as for learning scientific
ideas. Computers can help provide motivation for much
of the work in mathematics, as well as in science and
business. They can also provide the necessary tool to
promote and carry out the applied and practical side of
subjects, which is receiving far more realistic
attention today. They thus can help the teacher combat
the all too prevalent notion that mathematics and
sometimes science are too theoretical. Since a well
trained teacher with appropriate computer science
education is the key to this educational problem,
primary attention will be given to the teacher training
problem. Another reason for this emphasis is that not
enough is being done in our colleges currently. It is
hoped that this presentation will call attention to
this need and help motivate educators to further action
to solve the problem in the teacher training area,

have become an all pervasive influence in society.

where there is a significant amount of information to
be taken, stored and manipulated. Their use in the many
spheres of business activity has contributed to the
creation of a huge computer industry. In recognition of
the immense social influences of computers and the
concurrent influence of the technocrats who ``control''
the machines, computer science departments have
recently tried to respond to the challenge by giving
their students an awareness of these forces. Their
response has taken basically 2 forms. The first
approach has been to incorporate within existing
courses a measure of social awareness and
responsibility. This has been accomplished by
examining, where appropriate case situations of
computer related developments and trying to assess
their implications in the social context. Experiments
of this type have been reported by [NEI72]. The second
approach has been to create a new course, often called
Computers and Society, whose main goal is to expose the
student to at least a subset of the relevant issues
connected with computers. Though called by the same
name, these courses often vary widely, and several
proposals which describe various formats have appeared
in the literature e.g., see [HOR72] and [LEE71]. This

the student some degree of experience with computers
which are not within our financial means. The heart of
this development was a simulator we refer to as the
SLIC (Scranton's Little Instructional Computer)
processor. We feel this simulator has a different
purpose for its existence than some of the others which
have been developed. The original purpose and the one
on which we are concentrating in this paper was to give
students some practical programming experience on
``computers'' which have different addressing schemes.
We feel SLIC met this original purpose with great
success. Its most important contribution to date is in
the development of our course in Processor Organization
and Assembler Programming. In making this course SLIC
dependent, we believe we made it machine independent
and as a result we feel we give our students a ``feel''

simulator which is intended to simulate the activity of
a computer system- hardware together with an operating
system --- as it processes a work-load. Input to the
simulator is in the form of keyword parameters which
are used for describing all three components ---
hardware, operating system, and workload. POPSS is a
simulator as opposed to a simulation language. It is
designed to model the inner workings of a computer
system in addition to yielding the results usually
associated with simulation. The program is highly
modular, consisting of some 45 subprograms. Of these,
there are 22 modules, each of which represents an
operating system component (or possibly a part of one
such component). Included in POPSS are built-in
replacement features to allow a user the capability of
designing alternative resource allocation strategies.
These features are in addition to the standard
subprogram replacement automatically available through
the use of FORTRAN IV.",

teaching of two Computer Science courses at The
Pennsylvania State University (7). The courses are; an
upper level undergraduate-beginning graduate level
course in graph theory, and a graduate level course in
the theory of graphs and networks. As can be
ascertained from the description of these courses they
are not primarily what would normally be called
programming courses. However, since they are computer
science courses they do stress the computational
aspects of graph and network theory and analysis. Past
experiences have indicated that if a computational
problem of any reasonable complexity is assigned in
class the majority of the students focus an inordinate
amount of their energies to the programming problems,
and consequently fail to grasp the significant features
of the theoretical problems involved. In addition,
since graph and network theory encompasses not only
computer science, but engineering and physical, and to
a lesser extent, the social sciences, many of these
students would be unduly burdened by writing many
rather complex programs. On the other hand, teaching
the computational aspects of graph theory without doing
some programming is equally ludicrous. Thus, a default
type solution of assigning two or three problems from a
narrow set of problems was rapidly becoming an
undesirable solution to this dilema. It was at this
point that the concept of a dynamically growing
programming system, as described in this paper, began
to formulate itself.",

Computer Science at Carnegie-Mellon University. The
Ph.D. is viewed as a certification by the faculty that
the student has a broad foundation in Computer Science
and has performed original research in the area. Every
incoming student is assigned advisors who are charged
with guiding him and certifying his education. To
qualify for a degree, a student is required to pass a
set of qualifying examinations and to write and defend
a thesis.To help students fulfill these requirements,
the Department provides educational opportunities
consisting of:- The Immigration Course, an intensive
six week program intended to provide a common
foundation for students with diverse backgrounds.- A
set of Core courses, covering a core body of knowledge
in computer science which all computer scientists
should know.- An area specialization, requiring a
deeper study in a particular subarea of computer
science.- Participation in directed research, providing
experience in a research environment before starting
the major piece of research which will be his thesis.-
The environment to do a major piece of original work
leading to a thesis.There are no required courses;
competence may be acquired through either courses or
independent study. There is a teaching requirement
intended to develop communication skills.There are no
formal grades. However, on a semi-annual basis the
entire faculty evaluates each student's progress along
several dimensions --- courses, core qualifier, area
qualifier, directed research, teaching, thesis, etc.
Support and/or permission to continue in the department
depends on adequate performance along these dimensions.
Thus, while a student is free to shape his educational
program to suit his needs, he must continue to
demonstrate satisfactory progress in at least some of
the above dimensions.",

abstract = "Cornell, like most other large schools, has been
struggling with the problem of introductory programming
instruction for years. The problem is not yet solved
but in the last few years we have done some
experimenting and seem to have made some progress. The
situation seems worth reporting so that others can
perhaps benefit from what has been successful and avoid
what has not. The major problems seem to be volume and
variety. Pedagogical techniques that are obviously
effective with small classes are sometimes impractical
when faced with more than a thousand students per year.
This may be largely a question of economics, since one
could presumably allocate enough resources to the task
to have small classes, but this is just not realistic
at Cornell and the real question becomes one of finding
practical large-scale techniques. For example, the
central computing facility at Cornell (a 360/65 under
OS/HASP) cannot support a sufficient number of
interactive terminals to make that mode of instruction
practical. Hence our solution must operate within the
constraint of a conventional non-inter-active computer
service.",

it was designed to generate assignments at a level and
pace appropriate for each student and, at the same
time, to automate assignment checking and record
keeping in a mass education environment. The original
system design met these goals, but the manner of
implementation imposed some unexpected and undesirable
restrictions on both the students and instructors. In
order to ease these restrictions, and lay the
groundwork for implementing ASAG in other courses, two
major revisions have recently been made to the system.
The purpose of this paper is to introduce and describe

``debugging,'' because the word ``debugging'' conveys
the impression that errors are alright-that they are a

be found and swatted. If ``debugging'' was called

velocity and position. The system consists of a phase
comparator, a low-pass filter, the motor under control,
and a voltage-controlled-oscillator (VCO) in the
feedback path. The mathematical model of the motor and
the low-pass filter are simulated on the analog
computer. The input reference is a frequency-modulated
(FM) digital signal. An integrated circuit is used as
the phase comparator which compares the perturbed VCO
feedback frequency and the input signal. The method
introduced here is simple to learn and practical to
implement in undergraduate control courses. It
introduces the student to the basic concepts of PLL
control, without overwhelming him with its complex

first approach stresses the necessity of learning the
dominant scientific language, which in the Americas
amounts to a vote for Fortran (2). The practicality of
this choice is as indisputable as the awkwardness of
the syntax of that language. The alternative view
stresses the importance of the program structure in
developing a sound sense of ``algorithmic thinking''.
Proponents of this view would suggest Algol W (4) or
perhaps Pascal (5). We contend that both approaches

abstract = "The concept of individualized instruction centered
around a rather extensive research project has been
present in education for centuries. As recently as
fifty years ago many colleges and universities required
some form of thesis for bachelors and masters degrees,
as well as for the doctorate. However, with the
pressure of increasing numbers of students the emphasis
on individual study has abated to such an extent that
in many schools only the PhD students have a real
opportunity to engage in extensive individual work.
Over the past two years we have been attempting a small
reversal in this trend. During this period we have
supervised nearly two dozen projects done by individual
students or small student groups at both the
undergraduate and the graduate level. After the first
semester of this effort we established a set of
guidelines which we have been following in subsequent
project work. Our present guidelines form the Appendix
to this paper.",

approaches for achieving more meaningful relationships
between degree programs at the college level in
Computer Science and the needs of industry. Nothing is
more encouraging to most students than to know that
their academic preparation will enhance their future
life styles and future employment opportunities. Also,
probably nothing is more depressing to a person than
perhaps being a hungry, competent, and unemployed
expert in an academic area where employment
opportunities are nonexistent. The balance between
knowledge attributed to real world experiences and
academic theory is a crucial issue. Either type of
knowledge is hollow without the other component. Mr.
Jack Jackson, who is an Instructor for the American
Airlines Academy amply describes an ``experience'' as
being --- when something is happening to you and you
wish it were happening to someone else. Many schemes
have been used to simulate real world electronic data
processing experiences in the classroom situation. Some
of these schemes have proven very successful. However,
most employers will not consider this as what they mean
when they ask a prospective employee ``Do you have any
experience?''. The remarks in this paper are directed
toward the employer's definition.",

the most difficult to teach. A large number of students
enroll, many with widely different aptitudes and
backgrounds, so that the traditional
lecture/presentation techniques aimed at the average
miss the majority. A number of alternates have been
proposed to overcome this problem. One of these is
Individually Prescribed Instruction (I P I). Using I P
I, the course material is initially partitioned into a
number of discrete units and given to a student one
unit at a time. The student reviews the material
contained in the unit and then takes a written
``assessment'' to gage his mastery of the concepts. The
assessment is evaluated immediately and if the student
was successful the next unit is given, otherwise he
simply ``recycles'' the material. By this means the
student can progress at his own pace. The material in
this course has been broken down into seven units. In
addition to the written material, the student has
access to student tutors, faculty instructors and video
taped teaching aids. This paper reviews the
organization, construction and experience with using
the I P I approach over the past two years. Results to
date indicate that this method can be highly
successful, if administered to a proper subset of the
student population.",

they are slow to gain acceptance in computer science
education. However, because of its increasingly great
impact on industry and its potential as a teaching
device, the minicomputer should be considered a part of
the computer science curriculum. This paper proposes a
minicomputer laboratory course at the lower division
level emphasizing hands-on use, fundamental computer
concepts in conjunction with ``computer lore'', and
problems peculiar to machines. Also, an upper division
course is suggested which emphasizes demonstration of
advanced programming techniques.",

generally agreed that their curriculum should include

Fortran taught with an algorithmetic approach, and an
introduction to numerical methods with emphasis on
proper use of subroutines. It was strongly recommended
by the group that simulation and mathematical modeling,
statistics, and analog computation be included. Many
felt that some basic concepts of an assembler language
as related to mini-computers was important. The group
was unanimous in the opinion that computer science
subject matter should be taught by those trained in the
field, but in all cases the courses should be
structured so as to be user oriented. It was strongly
recommended that CoED form a committee to study this
need and make recommendations to the engineering and

part of most programs in the Decision Sciences.
However, in many instances, the educational efforts
have focuses primarily on language syntax and
structure, where short programming problems are
assigned to students in order to emphasize a particular
technique or subset of instructions in the language.
Such an approach implicitly avoids the overall purpose
of computer language instruction: providing the student
with a means of integrating the computer into problem
solving activities.The purpose of this discussion is to
introduce several techniques which have proven
effective in teaching not just language syntax and
structure, but also modular programming and
documentation for business oriented problems. Each of
these topical areas needs to be addressed in
programming language courses in such a way that the
student not only gains a meaningful understanding of
the concepts, but also grasps an awareness of the
particular value of the concept in business
applications. A methodology is presented which has
successfully been adopted in computer programming
courses at both the graduate and undergraduate
levels.",

Teaching and the graduate school deans of four eastern
United States universities. When Educational Testing
Service (ETS) began operations in January 1, 1948, it
assumed responsibility for the examinations and the
program in which they were used. Until 1966, ETS
constructed the tests and operated the testing program
with the advice of a committee appointed by the
Association of Graduate Schools (AGS) within the
Association of American Universities. After several
graduate schools suggested that it would be both
desirable and appropriate to have a broader
representation of the graduate education community
participate in the program's policy decisions, the
Graduate Record Examinations Board was established in
1966.",

should be applied where it is needed most. It is my
opinion that the culturally and economically advantaged
students (for example, those students who can afford to
go to college in Hanover, N. H.) would be successful in
college and life with or without access to computer
based instruction. However, this may not be true for

such an institution are not rooted in any one of these
alone but rather in the complex, often apparently
conflicting, cross currents of philosophies represented
by these characteristics. Serving the needs of
disadvantaged students in a liberal arts milieu is
difficult enough, and once you establish computer
science in this picture, you still have to meet the
challenge of staffing with permanent, full-time faculty
to effect continuity. It has been evident at Xavier
from the beginning (1968) that without a strong
computer science curriculum the ability to serve other
departments would be severely limited; its experience
bears this out. We have no great success story to tell,

Committee would examine the code and approve it, or
return it to the coding group for revision. Thus, the
Steering Committee acted as Chief Programmer to the

completed, they were linked together and tested. A
comprehensive survey containing questions regarding the
effectiveness of the Chief Programmer approach was

to include a three-semester-hour course in computer

administrators could benefit by at least this amount of
exposure to the procedures of automatic data
processing. The course was designed to accommodate
graduate students in education with very little or no
background in computer science. This type of student
tends to be initially petrified at the thought of
having to take a course in computer science. However,
after some exposure to computer science terminology,
they are ready to pursue the primary educational
objective of the course. This objective is to prepare a

position in a public school system with some knowledge
of how to intelligently use whatever automatic data

denials that a gap exists, and reaffirmations of its
existence. Two of the proposals for a solution to the
problem have called for direct contact between students
and industry during the education process. Goddard (9)
discussed the internship and cooperative program at
both the undergraduate and graduate levels. The ACM
curriculum recommendations for a Master of Information
Systems degree(4) contain a course proposal for Systems
Development Projects (course D3) which involves
significant contact between students and industry. This

an imperative (or procedural) form. While extremely
exciting, this methodology is rather alien to those

Kronecker. He was engaged in a vigorous debate with

the foundations of mathematics? What set of axioms can
be used as a basis for deriving everything else? Most
mathematicians were following directions of thought
which invoked the concept of infinity, infinite
sequences, infinite sets, infinite classes, and
reciprocally, the notion of infinitesimal. By
consistent application of logic, their premise
inexorably led to further elaborations such as
trans-finite numbers which are esoteric in the
experience of most of us. Kronecker vigorously asserted
that following this path was an error. He claimed that
one must begin, and not only begin but remain content
with the integers and those things which can be
described algorithmically in terms of them. ``God made
the integers, and all the rest is the work of man.''",

process of ascertaining and demonstrating that a
program is correct, i.e., that a program satisfies a
given set of specifications. The most common method of
verifying a program is by testing, the process of
executing a program for a set of selected inputs and
inferring from the results of those executions that the
program is correct for all possible inputs. In practice
today, a few programs are being proved correct but the
most common method of program verification is still
testing. Both methods are unreliable in different ways,
but when combined, their complementary relationship can
provide a high degree of assurance that programs are
correct. The purpose of this paper is (1) to review the
state of the art of these two approaches to program
verification and the relationship between them, and (2)
to suggest a number of ways in which program
verification can be introduced into the computer
science curriculum.",

much information into a short time span that the

universities deplore the continued widespread use of
Fortran in beginning computing courses, the fact
remains that half a million college students each year

proficiency as a major objective. If these students are
to learn about program structure, ways must be found to
teach this concept in Fortran courses. We propose the
use of a structured mini-language, rather than a
preprocessor, at the beginning of such a course. The
B4Tran language has been designed as a subset of an
extended Fortran dialect. It introduces alternative
structures and iterative structures by using labelled
statements to delimit the ends of blocks, in a manner
analogous to the indexed DO block of Fortran.
Controlled alternatives to GO TO are also provided.
Some features of Fortran that cause difficulty for
beginning students are omitted. All variables are of a
single (``real'') type. Input and output are
format-free. B4Tran runs as an interpreter; thus it can
furnish improved feedback to the programmer during
execution.",

computers operate, what must be done to develop a
computer application, characteristics of successful
applications, and the social implications of computer
technology.The objectives are (1) to provide
understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of
computers, (2) enable students to recognize potential
computer applications, (3) enable students to
communicate effectively with computer programmers and
systems analysts, and (4) make students aware of the
social implications of computer systems.Most students
who enroll in this course are majoring in a social
science, fine arts, business, education, or a
non-technical liberal arts department. Because this may
well be the only technically oriented course taken
during their college careers, we point out how what we
are learning about computers is pertinent to all areas
of rapidly evolving technology.",

the focus is usually on the language itself and its
application to the students' fields of interest. Syntax
and logic are the chief barriers to be overcome, and,
as a result, an important topic is not covered. This
area is becoming more a problem with the trend toward
writing computer programs to be run from a terminal.
Students are not being taught how to write a program to
be run by someone else.This article develops a set of
rules to improve programs for terminal applications.
These rules center around:1. Data Validation: The
Programmer must explicitly test the data entered to be
sure it is of a valid type and within valid range;2.
Input and Output Validation: It is important to
identify the problem being solved, the input to the
program and the results of the program; and 3. Data
Flow: The flow of data into the computer should be
ordered in the same way as it would be if a person were
solving a problem in his head.If these rules are
followed, programs will perform better, the user will
be happier, and the data processing will be more
accurate.",

this course to enhance their employment opportunities.
Most of the students who take this course have some
knowledge of some computer programming language,
especially in FORTRAN. In the last four years, I have
taught this course eight times. In the beginning,
perhaps like many other instructors have done, I took
the normal path to teach this course. This path was
more or less influenced or determined by some textbooks
or manual references. These text and manual references
have different approaches; however, to teach the COBOL
language, all of them agree on one point, namely, to
present the PERFORM statement, the tool of structured
programming in COBOL, in the late sections of their
texts. And of those sources which I'm familiar with,
none had the structured programming approach. Because
of the popularity of structured programming especially
in the business data processing environment, and since
many of our students start their professional work as a
programmer or as a systems analyst, it was determined
that the structured programming technique and modular
programming concept should be introduced as early as
possible in the semester. This has been done in the
last three offerings of the course and the results have
been impressive. Students' evaluations of the same
instructor and the same course were considerably higher
than before and their response to the new approach has
been encouraging.",

abstract = "The importance of writing programs that are readable
has finally gained preeminence in the struggle with
such competing and contradictory goals as ``cuteness''
and ``optimization'' of code. As a result, a much
greater stress on documentation standards is found in
computer science education these days. Industry and
government standards for documentation are being more
widely adhered to and certain points of agreement have
emerged. Some excellent books have been written that
cover the subject (Van Tassel, 1974; Ledgard, 1975;
Kernighan {\&} Plauger, 1974); however it is safe to
say that both the exhaustive treatment of the subject
in such publications and the extremely high standards
proposed probably preclude wholesale adoption by
instructors of beginning level programming courses.
What is proposed here is a set of common sense, scaled
down documentation standards for the student in a first
programming course in, say, FORTRAN, PL/I, ALGOL, or
Basic. The following represents an amalgam of
documentation requirements achieved as a result of
teaching introductory programming to college students
for nine years. The actual sources have been the
literature, colleagues, and last but not least,
experience. They are not intended to represent an
``only'' or ``best'' approach; the author has recently
encountered other efforts in this direction that must
surely be as reasonable and effective. It does
represent one educator's approach; it is sufficiently
scaled down so that one might reasonably expect to use
it as a standard for beginning students; and it may be
most useful as a contributor of components to be
integrated into a more effective set of standards. The
basics of documentation and readable programming
include comments, meaningful variable names, labelled
output, flowcharts, and clear program flow. The major
components of and basic rules for each of these
categories will be presented in the context of the
needs and limitations of the beginning student.",

concerned with causal systems, which are systems the
states of which do not depend on future inputs to the

well understood (differential equations, automata,
deterministic or not). The purpose for engaging in
science about causal systems is --- besides pure
curiosity --- mainly to aid man's desire to behave in a
goal-directed manner. Since a modern society has a need
for goal-directed behavior of its members, e.g., in
problem solving, there is also the need to teach people
the associated structures. They need --- to get to know
existing models (knowledge), --- to learn the way
models are used (methods), --- to get to know the tools
for modelling (theories), and --- to be able to use
strategies for developing them (science). The
introduction may give the impression that we favor a
very loose use of the term ``model''. This is not so,
however. On the contrary since this term is so loosely
used presently, it should find a refinement by
explication which can be done by examining the
associated structures further. That this may not be a
waste of effort may have been demonstrated by the
central role models play for man's goal-directed
behavior.",

as procedural specialists that ``wake-up'' or become

abstract = "Universities are often criticized for being too
academic --- too far removed from society's real
problems. One reason for this remoteness is the
academic preoccupation with analysis, despite the fact
that the solution to many practical problems requires
synthesis or invention. Another reason --- and this is
the one I want to discuss --- is that faculties in
science and engineering by and large are interested in
the science of technology, and devote little or no time
to teaching the economics of technology. The problem is
a general one and I believe it deserves attention by
all scientific and engineering faculties of the
university (?). It is particularly important in the
computer field, where growth and change are the norm,
and where we all must be careful, in making decisions,
to take into account trends and directions in the
economics of data processing. I propose a course
entitled ``Data Processing Technology and Economics''
as a solution to the problems described above, and in
this paper I will describe the course, which is based
on a textbook I have been preparing for the past
several years. The course has been taught twice: at
Harvard University in the Fall Semester 1974---1975;
and at the University of Sydney, in Australia, in the
Michaelmas Term, 1975. However, before describing the
course in detail, I would like to explain, with the
help of some examples, why I believe this subject is
important to the student of Computer Science.",

abstract = "Many steps are involved in completing a Bayesian
statistical analysis. Some are skilled tasks requiring
the expertise of a professional, others are purely
mechanical. The former include such tasks as choice of
model, specification of the prior distribution and
interpretation of the posterior distribution; the
latter include such things as the arithmetic necessary
to combine the prior distribution with the data to
produce the posterior distribution and to produce
probability statements from that distribution.
Unfortunately, it is all too often the case that the
arithmetic gets in the way of the professional's
decision-making responsibilities by breaking
concentration and line of thought; and at times the
sheer bulk of computation precludes the use of advanced
techniques by the unaided researcher. What is required
is a monitoring system that does all of the arithmetic
and, even further, sees to it that all of the steps in
the analysis are performed correctly and in their
proper sequence. Also, within an instructional process,
it can be very useful to have a system that helps a
student learn by guiding his steps through a valid
statistical analysis even if he doesn't yet fully
understand what he is doing. For these and other
reasons, a system of Computer-Assisted Data Analysis
(CADA) was developed at the University of Iowa (Novick,
1971, 1973). Further investigation into available
computer technology coupled with expansion of the
theoretical base on which the original system rested
resulted in the refinement and expansion of the
available programs and the construction of a monitor to
facilitate their use.",

abstract = "Traditionally, CAI has been characterized by (1)
individualized instruction based on performance, and
(2) real-time interaction. Efforts to provide CAI on
general purpose equipment have not been successful, and
as a result many have turned to dedicated equipment
(TICCIT, PLATO). An alternate approach to CAI, on
general purpose equipment, is proposed in this paper. A
typical interaction between a student and a CAI system
can be viewed as a stimulus from the system, followed
by a response from the student, followed by feedback
plus another stimulus from the system. In many
applications, the student response interval can be
relatively long. The approach used by QUICK is to
purposely extend this student response time by means of
the type of stimulus issued; then it is no longer
necessary to have an interactive program waiting for
the student to respond. Instead, the interaction can be
accomplished via a batch job triggered by student
input. In the QUICK system, the unit of courseware is a
task, consisting of information, instructions, and a
number of questions to be answered, which may take the
student from a few minutes to several hours or days to
complete. In a science course, for example, a task
might contain instructions for performing an
experiment. Such a system has a wide range of
applications, from CMI type uses which primarily direct
the student to existing materials for study, to CAI
type uses which provide tutorials and drill exercises
for the student. The QUICK system has been implemented
and used in a first year Biology course and an
introductory FORTRAN programming course at PURDUE.
Student input can be accomplished via several devices
--- teletype terminal, punched card reader, or marked
sense card reader. This paper presents some details of
the currently implemented QUICK system, as well as some
goals and future directions.",

recognized that traditional proof checkers were
inadequate for teaching mathematics, or for that

mathematical concepts and arguments at a level much
higher than the traditional formal systems of
mathematical logic. Finally, we designed the EXCHECK

The lessons in the module were written in the

lessons call over a dozen BASIC programs specifically
written for the module. The lessons allow for
self-pacing and freedom of choice concerning the number

problem-solving laboratory that helps students while

individualized sequence based on a representation of
the structure of the curriculum and a model of the
student's state of knowledge. This paper describes the
BIP system, with emphasis on recently developed
features. The goal of the tutorial laboratory is
informative interaction with the student, which is
provided by an instructional BASIC interpreter,
information on BASIC syntax cross-referenced with the
BIP student manual, and debugging aids. The system also
has access through the curriculum representation to
features that the student may use to help her solve her
current problem. These features include hints, easier
``subtasks,'' a stored solution that can itself be
executed, and an interactive flow chart representation
of the solution. The nature of the student-BIP
interaction is captured in an annotated student
dialogue of a typical session.",

FORTRAN) with constructs which, while legal, indicate
that the student doesn't really understand the

beginning students. This paper describes some of these
``errors'' and what comments can be presented to the

checks to see that the student is being consistent with

the particular programming language chosen for
implementation. When the structured flow diagram has
been completely refined, the final translation to a
programming language is relatively automatic. To test
the program logic, the resultant source code should be
executed. The student can modify the flow diagram,
generate new code, and re-execute until the program

it convenient to prepare, execute, and modify programs
for Turing, Post, or mixed machines. The system runs on
a Datapoint 2200 intelligent terminal with CRT display,
keyboard, and dual tape cassette drives. Machine type,
legal symbols, program or rules, 'tape' contents, and
other initial parameters are input from the keyboard
and shown on the display. During 'execution' the
sixty-four characters about the 'read head' are also
shown on the display and the speed of the execution can
be dynamically modified (including single-stepping) or
interrupted. Tape cassettes are used to make the 'tape'
of the machine effectively infinite relative to its
speed. Such pedagogical simulators should increase
understanding and/or reduce frustration for students
being introduced to these theoretical machines. They
can also be used to verify moderately complex
computations with such machines. This paper deals with
the organization, utilization, and possible extensions
of the system.",

fundamentals of computer science through a study of
algorithms and programming, and to start the student

content. Curriculum content can vary from organizing a
forty minute lecture to planning a four year sequence

curriculum content results in a logical organization of
the concepts, which may or may not be unique. Users of
TOPSORT claim a major time savings in the long run.

program has been introduced into the curriculum of the
School of Engineering at Oakland University. During
this period computer science educators throughout the
country have debated the best way to introduce
structured programming into the curriculum. There is
now a widespread belief that beginning FORTRAN courses
cannot be taught using structured programming in a form
that is palatable to freshmen students without the aid
of a structured FORTRAN preprocessor. Our experience in
teaching structured programming using FORTRAN to large
numbers of freshmen students has indicated that this
widespread belief is false. We will illustrate the use
of structured flowcharts with FORTRAN in Section 2 by
showing one of the actual programming assignments that
was given to our freshman introductory computer course
this term. The same structured flowcharting techniques
are used throughout the curriculum. An example that
uses ALGOL and is taken from our junior level data
structures class is given in Section 3. The use of the
structured flowcharts forces all programs to be
well-structured and encourages a top-down approach to
programming. It is a very useful vehicle for describing
any language-independent structured algorithm. An
example of using structured flowcharts to describe a
simple precedence parser in a senior course on
compilers is given in Section 4.",

ideas for distributing computer time and power at a
University with overtaxed centralized computing. Topics
discussed include how to determine who gets computer
resources and how much; how to share a centralized
facility among administrators, researchers, and
students; how to secure a flexible system for the user;
and how to devise a system which encourages good user
habits. The computing history of San Diego State
University (SDSU) is very briefly presented as
background for the computer allocation proposals to be
presented. The proposals themselves arose from an
appointed sub-committee$^1$ and are presented in a
rather top-down manner much as they were introduced on
the SDSU campus. It is hoped that a number of other
institutions will find some of the ideas or specific
strategies proposed to be worthy of careful
consideration.",

abstract = "Much has been said about the importance of teaching
top-down program design and structured programming in
computer programming courses. However, instruction in
these concepts has usually been limited to short
homework assignments and at most to term projects. This
type of experience is very different from the
production programming environment encountered in
industry, where the problems tackled are generally more
complex and on a larger scale. Also, in many cases
industrial programs are produced by a programming team
under constraints in both time and resources. For
students who aspire to a career in the software area,
experience in a realistic production programming
environment is desirable. Such experience is not
provided in the traditional courses and novel ways have
to be devised in order to bring it on campus. At Harvey
Mudd College, an academic program, called the
Mathematics Clinic, has been institured with the aim of
providing this type of realistic experience to the
student. The Mathematics Clinic brings problems from
industry to be studied and solved by small teams of
students under faculty supervision. The problems are
selected for their educational value, but attention is
paid to the feasibility of producing results that are
of value to the sponsoring industrial concern. The
general organization of the Clinic program has been
described by Spanier (1). In the present paper, a
production programming project undertaken by the
Mathematics Clinic is described with emphasis placed on
the mode of instruction and the experience gained by
the students.",

we have been developing, including the major components

``understand'' computers via what he calls a computer
metaphor. Weizenbaum quotes I. A. Richards, who says a
metaphor is ``fundamentally a borrowing between and
intercourse of thoughts, a transaction between
contexts.'' That is, a metaphor is an analogy, a
simile, a model; it is designed to relate the unknown
to the known. There are many possible computer
metaphors. Weizenbaum makes the point that many people
have accepted one particular computer metaphor, and
that it is a particularly misleading one. Computer
scientists think of a computer as a machine that can
carry out an effective procedure. The words procedure
and effective procedure have meaning to non-computer
scientists. They can see that humans carry out
procedures, or that many activities of humans can be
thought of as execution of effective procedures. The
effective procedure computer metaphor thus leads to the
belief that humans and computers are quite similar in
their capabilities and in the way they solve

abstract = "The various attempts to augment man's information
processing capabilities with the use of machines became
significantly more realistic with the advent of the
modern electronic and adaptive-logic computers4. With
the introduction of advanced computing capabilities, a
host of new and serious challenges emerged. One of the
main challenges is that of transforming an ill-stated
problem to one acceptable by the computer. Once a
problem is well-stated, communication becomes
relatively simple3. The burden is on the programmer to
be the interface between the world of ill-stated
problems and the computers. The programmer has to
select a methodology by which he can take an ill-stated
problem and restate it in such a way that it can be
developed into a set of procedures and expressed in a
language that is acceptable and understood by the
machine. In order to more fully utilize computers for
problem solving it is necessary that we understand more
completely how we formulate a problem solution. Probes
into the problem formulation question have been of two
types, symptomatic and methodilogical. The symptomatic
approach focuses on the program structuring
capabilities provided by programming languages. It is
believed that programming languages having certain
program structuring features permit a more
comprehensible organization of the problem solution and
relate positively to successful programming. The second
approach, which is being proposed here, is to examine
problem solving methodologies used in computer
programming. Our specific objectives are (1) to examine
the possibility that a recognizable set of problem
solving strategies maybe observed in a programming
task, (2) given such strategies, the relationship these
have to success levels in programming performance. In
other words, how does programming performance vary as a
function of the structuring of the problem by the
programmer.",

of the mechanisms underlying recursive calls. In view
of the above it was thought useful to translate a
number of recursive algorithms into nonrecursive form
for classroom use. Tarjan's depth-first search
algorithms for digraphs (4,5) were selected because
they are sufficiently important to require their study
in some computer science course or other. The
translation consists of making the depth-first search
tree of the digraph explicit, and letting tree
traversals take over the role of recursion. The
nonrecursive algorithm for topological ordering of an
acyclic digraph will be our example here. This
algorithm is used to preprocess a scheduling network

abstract = "Problem solving is a task which is basic to many every
day situations. Generally, people are not fully aware
of the thought processes which enter into the solution
of their particular situation. A problem presents
itself and the solution, if determined, is implemented.
Humans are able to solve problems in a relatively
informal manner. Computers, due to their limited
abilities, usually cannot be used to solve problems in
this fashion. Greater success in computerized problem
solution is often attained through strict, rigid
expression of the problem and of its solution (i.e., a
structured approach). There are a variety of techniques
which one can use in formally defining a problem
situation. One that has found some favor is to
precisely define the problem by subdividing it into
lesser problems and then to define the subproblems into
lesser problems until the entire problem has been
broken into relatively elementary operations. The
problem and all of its subdivisions are then analyzed
in order to determine the required input values (i.e.,
what information or action does each segment need in
order to perform its function properly?), and the
required output values (i.e., what information or
action does the step produce in order for succeeding
steps to perform their function properly or for the
solution to the problem to be furthered?). Completion
of the subdivision and analysis steps is followed by
translation of the problem into a computer language and
by the subsequent testing of the solution to insure
that it is truly correct. Four commonly used methods
for expression of the analyses of the problem are a
word description of the problem, a list of the major
points of the problem, a ``flowchart'' of the problem,
or an artificial language (commonly a computer
language) description of the problem solution. Quite
often a combination of the four basic methods is
employed. The main purpose of the methods is to
completely define the problem and its solution so that
every facet of these two items is completely
understood. Consequently, it is best to employ whatever
method or combination of methods one finds easiest to
use in order to further his comprehension of the
problem.",

abstract = "In colleges and universities around the country it is
common to find that needs for new courses in computing
are recognized long before suitable courses are made
available. This is especially true for colleges of
business administration. The needs have long been
obvious, but staffing such courses internally is a slow
process. Some colleges of business are well served by
computer science departments, but in other schools the
catalyst for getting started is lacking. This paper
addresses the problem by describing the development of
a service course in computing offered by the Department
of Computer Science for the College of Business
Administration at the University of Nebraska. The
approach taken to course development postulated that if
a course is to appeal to a college of business
administration, it must appeal to the special needs and
aptitudes of the typical business student. This
particular service course concentrated on special
behavioral objectives: need to develop man-machine
interface skills, attention to developing
self-confidence and a sense of accomplishment, and
understanding the information processing concepts
needed in business today. The pedagogical approach to
attainment of these objectives also was carefully
fashioned for the given audience. As originally
conceived, the cognitive objectives of the course aimed
at teaching the analytically oriented business college
under-graduate how to write programs in the FORTRAN
language. In addition, the student was expected to be
able to read application programs in the areas of
marketing, accounting, finance, operations and
personnel management. The course explained how these
latter applications packages aid in the management
decision process. Finally, the course required that the
student become more familiar with the general
expository material in the area of electronic data
processing.",

Industry usually claims that students graduate with few

that such major issues as documentation, programming
style, and team programming are neglected, while the
abilities for written expression and oral presentation
are often totally lacking. The programming languages
which are common in industry (COBOL, FORTRAN) are often
not introduced, and actual experience in the use of
data base and data communications software just doesn't
exist. In summary, universities are not interested in
preparing a student for an industrial career.
Universities usually respond by stating that their
mission is education and not training. They are not
attempting to produce a technician who will be obsolete
in two years, but rather are attempting to build a base
of knowledge which will allow the professional to
change with the times. Many claim that they are
describing topics on the frontiers of the field which
will be used ten years from now. Since universities are
expected to be ``pioneers'', they are required to lead
in the development and research of new technology.",

cover approximately two and a half years of

six-credit, two-semester sequence. It is directed at
graduate students from a variety of academic areas and

students whose background in programming consists
primarily of programming in FORTRAN. Frequently, they
have had some experience with PL/1 although it is not

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.",

precisely define terms and established methods for
problem solving. For example, the rather vague
statement that ``algorithm A is better than algorithm
B'' may be formulated unambiguously and verified or
refuted with respect to certain performance
measurements using the formalism of algorithm analysis
(l). Mathematical methods also point toward the
possibility of proving that an algorithm provides
acceptable performance for large classes of inputs, a
conclusion which often cannot be supported on the basis
of case-by-case testing (5). I will now discuss certain
mathematical ideas which naturally arise in computer
science courses and cite relevant examples which will
hopefully convince the reader that these ideas are
worthy of formal study. Suggestions are then offered
regarding the inclusion of these studies in the
four-year computer science curriculum.",

In spite of that admonition, I have an irrepressible
desire to make some highly subjective, potentially
pompous remarks about introductory programming language
textbooks. During the past nine years I have evaluated
dozens of manuscripts for eight publishers and hundreds
of books for teaching term-length introductory courses
in FORTRAN, BASIC, PL/I, PASCAL, COBOL and assembly
languages. I have co-authored two FORTRAN texts and
developed two independent study guides to programming.
Each time I see a text, I make judgments by reacting to
the material, rather than by comparing the material to
a pre-determined set of criteria. In order to provide a
``structured'' review process (no computer-science
oriented paper is complete without a reference to
``structure''), I offer the following criteria for
evaluating texts. This list is far from complete, but
it is a beginning.",

abstract = "Traditionally, examinations have served as evaluation
tools for the instructor to aid in assigning grades and
to detect concepts not yet mastered by students.
Questions requiring more information in the response
than just a single word or number can give a better
indication of the student's knowledge of the concepts
being tested. This type of question is more difficult
to grade because the correct answer is not a single
word or number, there may be more than one correct
answer, or some responses may deserve partial credit.
Hand grading of such questions is often inconsistent
and laborious. Automatic grading systems have been
developed which score responses to complicated problems
and analyze student deficiences (e.g., [2], [3]), but
these methods may be too time-consuming for use
