N2 - In the Open University of Israel CS1 course, there are eight assignments contributing various percentages to the overall course assessment. The concepts of inheritance and polymorphism are covered in assignment 5. In the fall semester of 2009, assignment 5 was changed to demonstrate these topics using the Greenfoot environment. The change was accompanied by study to examine students' attitudes toward the Greenfoot environment and how they cope with it, both in terms of technical operation and from the point of view of learning.
