For the first trial of its full curriculum, Grace, the NYNEX COBOL Tutor (Gray & Atwood, 1991), was used to provide remedial instruction to selected members of a SUNY (State University of New York) Purchase COBOL class. In this paper, we provide some background on Grace (see Gray & Atwood, 1991 or Gray, Burns, & Schooler, 1989 for more information), an overview of the SUNY Trial, and a comparison of the remedial students to the rest of the class on the final exam (the instructor's criteria).
