Peer reviewedGeissler, Jayne E.; Horridge, Patricia – Journal of Research on Computing in Education, 1993
Discusses results of a survey of undergraduate students that investigated their current knowledge of computers and the level of knowledge they would like to have. Attitudes of students who had prior computer courses or who owned a computer were found to be more positive than those of students who did not. (27 references) (LRW)

The use of personal computers by juniors and faculty at Clarkson University, an engineering college, was investigated in December 1985 as a followup to a 1984 study. Starting in August 1983, the university required entering freshmen to purchase their own personal computer, the Zenith Data System Z-100. Randomly selected, a total of 15 faculty…

Peer reviewedLeso, Tim; Peck, Kyle L. – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 1992
Describes a study of undergraduates that was conducted to describe differences in anxiety in students entering two computer courses (i.e., a problem-solving and programing course and a software applications course) and to assess changes in anxiety levels attributed to each course. Further research is suggested. (19 references) (LRW)
