Experiment in programming laboratory

An implementation of a programming laboratory is described. Under this implementation, the emphasis is on the motivation and objectives, which are closely patterned after the ACM Curriculum '78 requirements. The resultant effects on students' performances and attitudes to programming are described. An achievement of this implementation is the systematic breakdown of students' psychological fear of programming and program debugging.
