Abstract
Since 1968 the University of Iowa Computer Science Department has used a locally developed
In the fall of 1973 my attention focused on EASY (with all of its problems) as a likely candidate for a computerized-interactive-tutorial segment of this course. Since the consistency of use and precision in presentation were important aspects of teaching the concepts related to EASY, such an approach seemed natural.
