Explorations
A series of three case studies will be presented in lecture, in order to illustrate the concepts being taught on substantial examples. Before each case study, you will implement a solution to the case study problem yourself, both to give you practice coding in Java, and to introduce you to the case study.
To use the supporting files in Eclipse, choose the folder containing the unzipped files, using File >> Import >> Existing Project into Workspace.

Problem Sets
To consolidate your understanding of the lecture ideas, you'll do three problem sets, one on each paradigm. Like projects, problem sets will involve both design and implementation work, but the problems will be smaller and less open-ended.
