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。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
