Student Success and Attempts on Auto-Graded Homework across Multiple Cohorts in Material and Energy Balances
Chapman, Kayla E.; Davidson, Megan E.; Liberatore, Matthew W.
Chemical Engineering Education, v55 n1 p43-50 Win 2021
Student success and attempts on hundreds of online homework problems housed in a fully interactive online textbook, Material and Energy Balances zyBook, were studied over three cohorts of students (n=284). Auto-graded homework questions with randomized numbers and content can explore proficiency in the course material. Students are allowed to attempt any question as many times as needed, and a median success of 94% was found. Also, students completed thousands of attempts after correctly answering without the incentive to improve grades.
