  abstract      = {Web-delivered courses for information systems programming requirements are well-established at most institutions.  It is well-documented that attrition and failure rates in these courses are higher than their classroom counterparts.  Web-delivered courses in general have a higher attrition rate than classroom courses, and upper level, analytical problem solving courses such as programming and statistics courses sometimes reach fifty per cent or more.  This is an account of an exploratory pilot study aimed at early identification of those students more likely to drop or fail a required Visual Basic programming course. The objective was to initiate some individual early intervention.  A brief questionnaire that students complete the first week of class aims to assess self-efficacy, locus of control, and resultant risk level of students. Based on the results of attempts at early intervention for one class for one semester, the risk assessment instrument was administered in five classes in the Spring, ’03 semester in the Computer Information Systems Department at Metropolitan State College of Denver.}
