Abstract

This paper is a teacher-researcher's reflection upon the use of open-source Robocode as a Java programming assignment. Following the educational perspectives of Parker Palmer and Elliot Eisner, it is a qualitative inquiry into the learning experiences of the students as well as the inner journey of a teacher. The design of the assignment may be validated by the ITiCSE 2007 Working Group's matrix taxonomy.
