Abstract
It was made apparent from the presentations at the Conference of Computers in Undergraduate Science Education that very few Computer-Assisted Instructional (CAI) programs in physics attempt to evaluate the performance of computer- tutored students in comparison with a control group. In this note, we discuss an experiment in which 23 beginning physics students out of a class of 64 were given a computer-administered tutoring test in place of the regular review recitation session prior to an hour exam on relativity. The performance of the computer-tutored group on the exam was compared to the performance of the rest of the class.
