Abstract
A method of programming a variety of assignments in a course was described. The instructions to students, the course assignments, and the grading system were presented in detail. The rate at which students performed the activities was examined. Different students began working at different times during the semester, but once a student began to complete assignments he continued to work at a rate comparable to all other students. No students stopped working after once beginning to work. The majority of the students liked the course despite being overworked. Several changes in the method were suggested based on the data from this course.
