During the process of development they recorded every step of their work in writing, as far as practicallypossible. In addition they described the goals they had pursued. The reports of the students are summarized and compared, and related to a set of 53 development activities. The main conclusion is that the experimental approach used is capable of yielding usable information. The influence on program development of the goals actually pursued and of programmers' personality differences appear as important issues that need further study. The dependence of the program development activity on the nature of the problem being solved emerges clearly. The relation to structured programming is obscured by uncertainties of concepts and terminology. *END*
