Students’ attitudes toward the computer aided education : 

CADGME, Pécs, 20-23 June. 2007 Piroska B. Kis, Computer aided education of numerical methods 10 Students’ attitudes toward the computer aided education Each student works by oneself (in PC laboratory –lecturer-help) Rapid response about the work The result of the works is visible / „measurable”, (Usage of less or more help) each student is successful The course is rather difficult, but each student gets a real sense of achievement, therefore the students receive/accept the course favourably
