The average age of students at Lake Michigan College (LMC) is twenty-eight years old. In the current study, the application of customized internet assessment for Chemistry 101, Introductory College Chemistry, from 2001 to 2005 is compared with traditional assessment from 1996 to 2000. The authors describe the ways in which computerized assessment empowers a student, makes teaching efficient and helps the instructor to monitor progress and intervene when necessary. Customized assessment does not require any computer programming knowledge on the instructor's part, nor computer classes for the student. (Contains 5 tables and 1 graph.)
