CIRCSIM-Tutor spends most of its time engaging the student in a natural language-based dialogue. The new input understander uses an information extraction approach that is robust enough to handle freeform student input. We describe an evaluation of CIRCSIM-Tutor by forty-two students at Rush Medical College, with particular emphasis on the performance of the input understander.
