Summary

The more actively students are involved in the learning process, the more they will learn. This text focuses on teaching syntax rules for the C++ functions, employing three types of activities to accomplish its goal: Prelab, Inlab, & Postlab. These activities are designed for either a closed or open laboratory environments where the students work the labs on their own. If such an environment is not an option, students will also benefit from working the exercises on their own. Nell Dale has written this manual to allow the instructor maximum flexibility. In addition, a diskette with programs, program shells (partial programs), & data files, accompanies the manual. The topics covered map exactly to the best selling Dale/Weems/Headington textbook, Program & Problem Solving in C++.
