Pre/post assessment measures learning by comparing assessment performance before and after instruction. Usually it is administered on paper during class, needing to be distributed, collected, graded and analyzed. Administration on the web outside class frees up class time and automates many steps. However, this switch to unproctored web administration raises questions. Will the results be as reliable? Will students take it? Will test questions leak to fraternity files? An experiment using two different assessments pre/post test was carried out in introductory astronomy classes. Each section took one assessment on line and one in class. Comparing performance on paper vs. web provides information on reliability. Numbers of students completing in each mode give information on compliance and factors influencing it. Browser events that could indicate copying, saving or printing of questions were recorded to identify possible loss of security.
