Abstract

Student-written programs accepted by computer science instructors are usually inferior to programs which exemplify currently-accepted “good” professional practice. Although enforcing more rigorous standards for programs places an additional burden on students and faculty alike, substantial benefits may be gained thereby. The natureand implementation of such standards are discussed.
