I frequently include the following in my first homework assignment (in a college-level "Programming for Non-Majors" course):
Build some interesting pictures in DrRacket, using the material of chapters 1-3. Turn them in, along with the Racket expressions you used to build them, by e-mail. If you use copied images (e.g. clip-art or photos), tell me where you got them.The following are some of the pictures produced by students in the first few weeks of their first programming class. By permission.
