I'm currently teaching the standard beginning sequence of programming at
Seattle University using Oh My! Modula-2!  We're at the end of the
second course.  In the evaluations of the first course, the majority of
students strongly disliked the book and I tend to agree with them.
The book does not develop smoothly.  The examples are poor -- some just
stupid and some too complicated.  He uses all non-standard libraries.

Overall, the book isn't terrible, but it's not good either.  I'm looking
for a different text for next year.
