✦ Synopsis

Supplementing a course by the use of the computer for record keeping, quizzes and other adminstrative tasks assists in providing a firm foundation in computer science for large numbers of students with diverse backgrounds. This partially computerized environment provides the individual student with the opportunity for drill on the course material, and an equitable method of testing and flexibility in the educational process.
