Abstract :
Negative feedback in the human cardiovascular system is a domain that is rich in both declarative and procedural knowledge. The author outlines the design of a student model for that domain which contains both an overlay model and a bug library. The CIRCSIM-Tutor student modeler´s strategy is to determine the most severe student problems as soon as possible. CIRCSIM-Tutor´s objectives are limited. Its domain knowledge is finite. A small number of typical student `bugs´ can be anticipated
