Authentic assessment for advanced undergraduate students
A novel assessment program was implemented in an upper level mathematical modelling subject for a small group of advanced undergraduate students of applied mathematics and engineering. The students were all enrolled in undergraduate degree programs at the selective private colleges, Harvey Mudd College and Pitzer College, in California. The subject itself was labelled Mathematics and Sport and ...
متن کاملAdvanced Robotics Projects for Undergraduate Students
The benefits to using robots in the artificial intelligence and robotics classrooms are now fairly well established. However, most projects demonstrated so far are fairly simple. In this paper we explore advanced robotics projects that have been (or could be) successfully implemented by undergraduate students in a one-semester or two-semester course. We explore what makes a good undergraduate a...
متن کاملThe challenge of introducing authentic assessment for engineering students
In order to familiarise the students with mechanical design in real-life engineering practices, a project-based assignment was designed in one of the core units of mechanical engineering. The students were supposed to design the drive shaft of an inclined belt conveyor in groups of 3 to 5. To do that, they needed to acquire relevant data from external resources, i.e. the suppliers of belt conve...
متن کاملUsing Simulated Students for the Assessment of Authentic Document Retrieval
In the REAP system, users are automatically provided with texts to read that are targeted to their individual reading abilities and needs. To assess such a system, students with different abilities use it, and then researchers measure how well it addresses their needs. In this paper, we describe an approach using simulated students to perform this assessment. This enables researchers to determi...
متن کاملInvestigation of Assessment Methods for Final Year Optometry Undergraduate Students
This retrospective study was designed to investigate the factors that influence performance in examinations comprised of multiple-choice questions (MCQs), shortanswer questions (SAQs), and essay questions in an undergraduate population. Final year optometry degree examination marks were analyzed for two separate cohorts. Direct comparison found that students performed better in MCQs than essays...
