Abstract

A set of weekly optional online quizzes was used with 104 students on a Multivariable Calculus course (MC), via the Moodle online system. These quizzes contributed a maximum of two extra points, and this was awarded if the student scored more than 9 points (out of 20) on the exam. All the students got the same questions and could resubmit the answers without penalty. There were usually several sub-questions embedded in each item. The effectiveness of these quizzes, applied with this set of strategies, was studied using students’ adherence and performance. Students’ vision of quizzes was also studied: usefulness, fairness, effect on the amount of study, awareness of the student’s level of understanding, and influence on outcome scores.

工科学生数学课程每周在线测验

通过Moodle在线系统，104名学生参加了多变量微积分课程（MC），每周进行一系列可选的在线测验。这些测验最多可额外获得2分，如果学生在考试中得分超过9分（满分20分），则可获得该分数。所有学生都得到了相同的问题，可以重新提交答案而不受惩罚。每个项目通常都包含几个子问题。运用这套策略，通过学生的依从性和表现来研究这些测验的有效性。还研究了学生对测验的看法：有用性、公平性、对学习量的影响、对学生理解水平的认识以及对结果分数的影响。
