Friday, November 16, 2012 - 12:00pm

The presenters have recently used WebAssign for collecting and grading homework assignments for Math 2700 (Linear Algebra), Math 3000 (Real Analysis I), and Math 3680 (Applied Statistics). We will discuss efficacy, capabilities and limitations of using WebAssign for assessing student performance in both computational and theoretical classes. We will talk also discuss practical issues such as how online assignments can be created, scheduled, and graded. We will also reflect on student perceptions about submitting homework online in advanced undergraduate courses. Prior knowledge of WebAssign or similar instructional tools is not needed to attend.
