  abstract =     "This paper describes components of an Interactive
                 Program Advising System (IPAS) for beginning
                 programming students. The system, being unaware of the
                 algorithm being implemented by the student, is unable
                 to direct the student toward writing a correct program.
                 It instead comments on the programming constructs the
                 student has used in the specific implementing
                 language-in this case FORTRAN. Beginning programming
                 students often write poorly structured programs
                 (especially in a non-block-structured language like
                 FORTRAN) with constructs which, while legal, indicate
                 that the student doesn't really understand the
                 operation being performed. Data is currently being
                 collected on ``conceptual errors'' commonly made by
                 beginning students. This paper describes some of these
                 ``errors'' and what comments can be presented to the
                 student to help him understand and correct his own
                 ``errors.'' A subsequent paper will present statistics
                 on frequency of errors and plausible student logic
                 which would produce the errors.",
