students for 3 months.

If you are interested I can send a more recent version. I have also a

to computer science guys but this can apply to your students too.

My lectures are available at: 
http://kilana.unibe.ch:9090/sdwiki/object-orientedprogramming/

Do not hesitate to ask for files and advices.For example in our new 
Smalltalk lectures we used seaside
