- Fhloinn and Carr (2017) stated that there are diverse formative assessments for engineering mathematics, including in-class exercises, homework, mock examination questions, table quizzes, presentations, critical analyses of statistical papers, peer-to-peer teaching, online assessments and electronic voting systems.
- In another study, Canfield and Zuccaro (2016) stated that digital homework for engineering students is not a hindrance for learning. With a step-by-step instruction on the implementation, this article is a quality starting point for creating a digital homework system.
- Elias, Elliott, and Elliott (2017) compared the use of commercial (publisher’s) software and in-house software for the first- and second-year engineering students. Findings include that the first-year students found the commercial software less helpful, while second-year students found the in-house program more helpful; but, overall, the class performance was better when the online assignments were used, and the number of students who failed the course was reducedreduced when the online assignments were used.
- Balascio (2017) reaffirmed the above finding, stating that using online exercises would lead to a significant reduction of cheating , and provision of a more individualized instruction and interaction.
