Abstract

Understanding object oriented concepts is always a difficult task for students. It is equally challenging for lecturers to teach these concepts. Over the years teachers have used various methods to teach these concepts. The result of a class test was analysed to identify the various areas students have difficulty in understanding. The result will help in designing course material that would focus on these areas of object oriented programming.
