Scientific paper

We will show the initial review of the effect of implementing the web-based physics tutoring and homework system, TYCHO, at the College of DuPage. The College of DuPage is a two-year college in suburban Chicago. TYCHO is provided by the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and includes a subset of problems called Interactive Examples which have extensive Socratic tutoring and assistance available. We will compare the average normalized gains on conceptual evaluations such as the FMCE and results of more quantitative exams for classes taught by the same instructor before and after the system was implemented. We will also look at students’ impressions of the system based on survey results. A more detailed analysis of these results will be presented at later meetings.
