This lab manual provides students with hands-on laboratory activities in 14 chapters, covering topics presented in most mainstream Java textbooks. Following the philosophy of Benjamin Bloom, who developed a taxonomy of six levels of achievement in the cognitive domain, each laboratory unit is broken into three main sections: Prelab, Inlab, and Postlab. Prelab sections review concepts and provide simple paper and pencil exercises. Inlab sections offer programming exercises. Postlab sections require students to complete outside programming assignments, which involve writing algorithms using the chapter's constructs and implementing them in Java. An accompanying web site contains classes, class shells, and data files needed for lab activities. Laboratory worksheets are also available online and can be printed or submitted electronically to the instructor. The lab manual can be used in an open or closed lab setting. There is no subject index. Dale is affiliated with the University of Texas-Austin.
