Session 1626 Pattern-based Programming Instruction* J. Philip East, S. Rebecca Thomas, Eugene Wallingford, Walter Beck, Janet Drake University of Northern Iowa/Marist College Several years ago a group of our computer science faculty began seriously examining initialprogramming instruction. We discovered a shared perception that too many students don't write reason-able programs even after completing a semester course in programming. Others have noted the same mayeven be true after the second course (e.g., [1]). There is cause for concern as computer applicationspervade our society, often in life-critical situations. Our students are producing some of
