Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to share our experience with a pedagogical pattern – spiral model in teaching diverse concepts (structural, object-oriented, visual) of an introductory Computer Science (CS) course in Java. Some other patterns are also used: “early bird, test tool, grade it again Sam”. At the beginning, the paper clarifies some colloquial or conventional characteristics that distinguish CS programming courses particularly for Liberal Arts. Following this, it reviews in general terms the selected pedagogical patterns used for teaching computer science courses and programming. Finally, the paper recommends the spiral method of Java topics that are covered in an introductory programming course and reports on the teaching experiences during four semesters.
