M. H., Bucks County Community College, Spring 2008
This is a good program that helps you understand the operational operators a little better. Other examples like this should be created for other c++ topics.

Very helpful, was good.
W. C., Union County College, Spring 2011
the tutor has been helpful especially in predicting the output of the switch statements and finding the errors.

`while` Loop

the feed back after getting a question wrong was really good.
B. B., Milton High School, Spring 2011
it was easy to use and learn :)
M. T., Ramapo College of New Jersey, Spring 2011
at first I struggled with the program, but eventually got the hang of it!
J. B., Ramapo College of New Jersey, Spring 2011
Helped give me a better grasp of the knowledge.
S. C., Kirkwood Community College, Spring 2011
I knew how to do this before I took this. So not much has actually changed, although this tutor is quite thorough.
C. H., Southern Polytechnic State University, Spring 2011
Very intutive but a little too advanced since I just read the chapter on looping, Havent had much practice yet with it
F. R., Union County College, Spring 2011
useful exercise
W. C., Union County College, Spring 2011
My problem is that it is timed what you need and should do is only make it a certain amount of questions with no time limit.
L. M., Tarrant County College, Fall 2010
I Love this tutor
L. J., Loyola University Chicago, Fall 2010
does a good job explaning the loop

K. Y., University at Albany, Spring 2009

`for` Loop

This is a very effective tutorial that helped sharpen my skills.
C. M., Vanderbilt University, Spring 2011
This assignment helped with learning the structure of for loops and the order in which the computer analysis the for loops
M. C., Ramapo College of New Jersey, Spring 2011
I've been programming JASS (Specialized C++) in GUI for years, so loops aren't really something I need help on: Hence, I wouldn't use this tutorial if it was made available, unless I didn't already know about loops. However, to someone who doesn't know about loops, I think this is a great tutorial for them to use to gain a better understanding of the mechanics of loops.
T. P., Vanderbilt University, Spring 2010
This is helpful!
T. L., Vanderbilt University, Spring 2011
I feel that it's not fair that there is a time limit on this kind of tutor.
S. C., Vanderbilt University, Spring 2010
Very good for review
A. A., Grand Valley State University, Spring 2010
I was not able to finish all of the problems due to the time cut off. I would have liked to finish all of them for more practice.
M. D., Ramapo College of New Jersey, Spring 2010
It definetly gave me a better understanding
L. T., School for the Talented and Gifted, Spring 2010
Great lesson!
G. B., Milton High School, Spring 2011
Loops take a while to figure out and put in the answers for each loop, this was a good length and did not feel too long while taking it. For more loop tutorials, this is an excellent length for the tutorial without it feeling too time-consuming and long / repetative.
B. K., Ramapo College of New Jersey, Fall 2009
The while loop exercise definately helped me prepare for this exercise
J. M., University at Albany, Spring 2009
this tutor has helped me again, to understand things i had not knew before.
K. Y., University at Albany, Spring 2009
this was very hepful to help me learn loops!
S. W., University at Albany, Spring 2009
I would recommend that all classes use this for there students.
J. P., University at Albany, Spring 2009
Hard, but the while loops were harder
W. R., Mercer County Community College, Spring 2009
It's a pretty neat new way to help students learn certain things about programming.
B. J., Appalachian State University, Fall 2008
It was very helpfull
M. P., Ohlone College, Fall 2008
This helped me understand a little more about looping. I was having some trouble understanding some of the material.
J. S., Armstrong Atlantic State University, Spring 2008
I finally figured out what nested loops were doing. so therefore this program was successful. !!!!
C. P., SUNY Brockport, Spring 2008
This was the best practice yet. I think it helped have done two others, because I knew a better what was expected of me. This tutor also had some more difficult questions I thought. It made me think a bit. I thought that it was good.
K. R., BYU-Idaho, Spring 2007

`do-while` Loop

I struggled with this one more than the others. This is something that I need to practice more.
M. R., Ramapo College of New Jersey, Spring 2011

Advanced Loop Concepts

I looked up what continue meant; made it a lot easier!
J. J., Milton High School, Spring 2011
i just started getting it towards the end but I deffinetely need more practice
E. C., Milton High School, Spring 2011
It was helpful specially in understanding the grammar rules of break and continue

Tracing Function Behavior

This tutor was helpful in showing how functions can call other functions and the order in which things are done and how parameters are passed
M. C., Ramapo College of New Jersey, Spring 2011
I learned functions!
K. G., Southern Polytechnic State University, Fall 2010

Debugging Functions

Amazing, Awesome
T. C., University of St Joseph, Macau, Spring 2011
I think it was good but just very hard to grasp without the proper studying technique/the right tutor for your c++ needs.
D. P., Miami Dade College, Spring 2011
Very Good
Z. C., University of St Joseph, Macau, Spring 2011
This was a tough one for me, I will have to revisit this one in the future
J. F., Bucks County Community College, Spring 2010
I hope to be able to use the tutor system with the next topics, I think
A. A., Texas Southern University, Fall 2009

1-Dimensional Arrays

The problems require you to trace which takes time. Everyone learn things different.I suggest keep practicing even after the tutor is completed.
C. S., Tarrant County College, Spring 2011
good practice and good test of understanding
B. C., Tarrant County College, Spring 2011
This helped to understand how arrays work (After first attempt)
- This helped to show how parameters are passed by parameters and get down the way they are assigned (After second attempt)
M. C., Ramapo College of New Jersey, Spring 2011
I want to become a computer geek. I need to understand arrays better.
C. B., Southern Polytechnic State University, Spring 2011

C++ Pointers

I think it would be useful in different programming languages as well.
A. S., University of Tennessee Knoxville, Fall 2010
This was one of the simplest and most usefull tools I have used, but it took me awhile to get through it
L. W., University of Tennessee Knoxville, Fall 2010
I love you !!!
Y. Z., Ohlone College, Spring 2010
The tutor is a good learning tool
N. U., Texas Southern University, Fall 2009
This tutor should be included in all CS1 and CS2 classes in order to give the students a better understanding of this concept. This concept is a crucial topic in C++ and as such should be given more emphasis. The tutor would be a viable aid in this area as it provides added clarity to the material being covered.
R. B., Ramapo College of New Jersey, Spring 2009
I like this tutor, which helps me to understand what I learned and what I should learn in the future.
G. T., Ramapo College of New Jersey, Spring 2008
Need more tutors like this for all c++ subjects. for example, functions, enumerated types, structures, arrays and so on... also they should be made available at anytime.
P. D., Ramapo College of New Jersey, Spring 2008
Overall, this is a great learning tool. As mentioned in the feedback section, I wish it was available on other topics.
J. G., Ramapo College of New Jersey, Spring 2008

General

I find the tutors to be a great review tool before an exam. Will you be posting additional tutors for abstractions, arrays, and strings as well?
