An introduction to class based domain modelling

The paper presents the primary concepts of learning and teaching the object-oriented paradigm. The guidelines produced supplement the framework developed, and both form a complementary package to the undergraduate software engineering curriculum. This package adopts the inverted curriculum idea, with students, both novice and experienced alike being introduced to the object oriented paradigm for the first time, through the use of this class based model. One of the main benefits recognised for adopting the OO paradigm is reusability. To assist students with this skill, they take part in the process of selecting classes for generalisation and reuse from the developed class library
