Sampson D. Asare, Bontle Gopolang · 2021
Teaching first year students in general is problematic. - Programming, using Java as first language, also presents a challenge, and the situation becomes more compounded when the class is large. We faced exactly such a situation when we taught ISS112 – Introduction to Programming at the University of Botswana. In this paper, we present some of the experiences and challenges that we faced when we taught ISS112. We drew comparison with other institutions and also proffered some possible solutions to some of the problems we faced.
