  abstract =     "Traditionally, examinations have served as evaluation
                 tools for the instructor to aid in assigning grades and
                 to detect concepts not yet mastered by students.
                 Questions requiring more information in the response
                 than just a single word or number can give a better
                 indication of the student's knowledge of the concepts
                 being tested. This type of question is more difficult
                 to grade because the correct answer is not a single
                 word or number, there may be more than one correct
                 answer, or some responses may deserve partial credit.
                 Hand grading of such questions is often inconsistent
                 and laborious. Automatic grading systems have been
                 developed which score responses to complicated problems
                 and analyze student deficiences (e.g., [2], [3]), but
                 these methods may be too time-consuming for use in an
                 interactive environment. An alternate approach to
                 complex grading is to adapt the problems to the
                 abilities of the student. An oral exam is an example of
                 this approach. This paper discusses some problems and
                 solutions of administering an ``oral exam'' via a
                 computer. Such an exam will be referred to as a
                 ``tailored exam''. The tailored exam extends to
                 examinations some of the ideas used in individualized
                 instruction in Computer Assisted Instruction.",
