In order to meet the "creativity and problem-solving
skills" objective, the student must be required to produce programming project
solutions from given problem descriptions. Note that this objective is not met if a
student is able to produce solutions only by pasting together given code fragments.
Although pasting code fragments together is sometimes appropriate, it does not enforce
the development of creativity and problem-solving skills.
