The courses include one introductory and two intermediate programming courses. There are project-based courses on Digital Humanities instead of an advanced programming course. In the introductory course, <a href="http://scratch.mit.edu/" title="'Scratch' Programming Tool">Scratch</a> was used and in the intermediate courses, Java has been adopted.</p> <p>Difficulties in teaching programming in an introductory course to humanities students have been to let students find interest or enjoyment in (1) symbol manipulation and (2) grouping tasks with functions or other similar units.</p>
