The SLEXTF-M2 computer program, written in FORTRAN IV, is used for examinations using binomial or polynomial response, i.e., true/false or multiple choice. The subject matter of any one statement is coded by a string of descriptive words that indicate categories. These words are arranged in left-to-right order such that any one descriptor defines…

This paper describes the methodology of a project to develop a computer program capable of reading casually hand-printed FORTRAN programs. (Author)

Describes a computer program called GRADER that aids the instructor of large or multi sections in recording student test scores, combining them with lab grades or other ratings and weighing each appropriately. (MLH)

The classification of data generated by empirical research is presented as an important but generally neglected problem facing contemporary psychology. It is concluded that formal classification can facilitate conceptual developments. (Author)

Temple and Pepperdine Universities have found it profitable to contract out developing a plan for new computer facilities, equipment, systems, and staff to meet the needs and goals of the institutions. (Author/MLF)

Proposes a method for correcting spelling errors found in electronic documents which is derived from a logical analysis of the problem. Similarity relations and character string matching are discussed, the use of PROLOG is described, suggestions for further research are made, and a literature review is included.

Handlers for interfacing the ScanTron and 2700 Optical Mark Readers with the IBM AT/XT/PC and Tandy 2000/1000/3000 iAPX 88/186/286 based computers were described. Differences between programing an RS232C serial port using BIOS interrupts and directly addressing the Motorola 8550 ART microprocessor were discussed. (Author/LMO)

This paper describes how the problem of resolution of syntactic ambiguities is approached in the parser PHRASE, developed for use in experiments in automatic indexing and extracting. PHRASE is a multi-level parser for declarative sentences, in which the syntactic structure is built up in four stages. (10 references) (Author)

A method of constructing a check digit for nonconventional chemical codes is described. (5 references) (Author)

A computer-analyzed statistical study of a means by which a pupil's probable success in a senior data processing class can be predicted while he is still in junior high school. (Editor)

Describe's an interdisciplinary approach in developing a plan to include computer programming and data processing in the course of instruction. (JS)
