Making Way for Java in an Information Technology Masters Program - Current Issues in IT Education - page 46

programming assignments to reinforce learning cannot be overstated and will therefore
continue to be a major component of this course. They, in conjunction with a carefully
structured and well thought-out curriculum and a strong support structure, made the
transition to an object-oriented programming language in an IT Masters program a success.
