alice-teacher Tests for Alice

[Don Slater]

Karen, et. al.,
A message from Wanda Dann, one of the authors of the materials at the aliceprogramming.net web site.

<begin>
Hi Don,

The labs were created to accompany the first edition of the book, which
had no end of chapter questions.

When the 2nd edition of the book was issued, we took the lab questions,
edited and expanded them, and put the questions at the end of chapters.
For this reason, the lab questions are (in most cases) the same as or similar
to the end of chapter questions.

btw -- the answers to end of chapter questions are available on the site.

Wanda

All the best,
Don Slater

In the interest of protecting all of our already overcrowded inboxes, however, please send your individual requests for access to materials from other teachers directly to the source, instead of a general request to the entire list.
