 Surely someone has seen this in actiom to whit: ch1 design of problem ch2
 design taken out of ch1 then done in ch2 to take input/ output for a

 deitel and associates were unfortunately part of some of my worst

I cannot parse this.
I get the idea that you are talking about a teaching text with certain 
characteristics.
I cannot figure out if you are:
(i) for the idea.
(ii) against it.
(ii) looking for something like it.

Please elucidate.
