Evaluation of student attitudes to learning the Java language
Michael G. Madden, Desmond Chambers · 2002
The Java Programming Language is now very well established and is frequently the first Object-Oriented Language that is taught to students. This paper discusses the results of a wide-ranging survey conducted by the authors to help identify aspects of the language that students perceive to be most difficult. It also reports on the teaching methods and other resources that students find most effective.
