Experiments in Computing: Laboratories for Introductory Computer Science in Think Pascal/Book and Disk

by Kenneth Abernethy, J. Thomas Allen

This collection of 22 laboratories written for the THINK Pascal 3.0 and 4.0 environments using the Macintosh encourages exploration and critical thinking in computing and puts students in the role of experimenters who must consider and apply conceptual issues. It can be used with any introductory text..Adopting the model of structured laboratories used successfully in other sciences, the authors provide a wide range of activities focusing on both programming issues and general computer science topics. Each laboratory is broken into three pre-lab preparation, in-lab activities, and post-lab assessment (for student summary via a post-lab Laboratory Report). .The text is available to students alone or packaged with a Data Disk that contains a number of program, project, and text files for use with the lab activities.
