Rowlett, Peter – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2022
A partially-automated method of assessment is proposed, in which automated question setting is used to generate individualized versions of a coursework assignment, which is completed by students and marked by hand. This is designed to be (a) comparable to a traditional written coursework assignment in validity, in that complex and open-ended tasks…

Maciejewski, Wes – PRIMUS, 2021
What if your students could access "any" resource during a test? How would they react? How would "you" react? This paper presents some results from a trial of allowing students access to notes, calculators, and any device connected to the internet, which occurred during a midterm in a second-year ordinary differential equations…

Herbert, Katherine; Demskoi, Dmitry; Cullis, Kerrie – Australasian Journal of Educational Technology, 2019
Formative assessment benefits both students and teaching academics. In particular, formative assessment in mathematics subjects enables both students and teaching academics to assess individual performance and understanding through students' responses. Over the last decade, educational technologies and learning management systems (LMSs) are used…

Reju, Comfort O.; Jita, Loyiso C. – Journal of Educational Research and Practice, 2020
We investigate and compare assessment practices in two (dual- and single-mode) institutions in Nigeria. A mixed-methods approach was employed. Descriptive statistics and narration were carried out for the purpose of determining what the assessment practices were and how they may be related to the students learning of undergraduate mathematics in…

Read, Wayne; Higgins, Patrick – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2012
On-line quizzes are used to help first year University Mathematics students identify weaknesses in their basic skills and improve them. Quizzes developed as a formative tool have been utilised at JCU [James Cook University] for eight years. However, before this research no-one has questioned the effectiveness of quizzes for this task. We present a…

Ferrao, Maria – Assessment & Evaluation in Higher Education, 2010
The Bologna Declaration brought reforms into higher education that imply changes in teaching methods, didactic materials and textbooks, infrastructures and laboratories, etc. Statistics and mathematics are disciplines that traditionally have the worst success rates, particularly in non-mathematics core curricula courses. This research project,…

Engelbrecht, Johann; Harding, Ansie – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 2004
Online assessment in mathematics is becoming more prominent as mathematics and the internet become more compatible. This paper is based on a case study of a web-based calculus course in which a combination of paper and online assessment is used for assessing various activities. The paper first investigates what student assessment preferences are…
