Practical experience with task-driven case studies

The problem of effective teaching of programming is still open. Students still face problems with learning and especially understanding of even basic programming principles. In this paper we present our experiences with our modern teaching method for programming that is basically a combination of the task-driven methodology and case study approach. This new method is called task-driven case study approach. In the paper we share our own experiences from the viewpoint of teachers, but we also present results of a survey done with 112 of our students. Presented results show positive experience both from viewpoint of students and teachers.
