, Summer 2019 and Fall 2019To best review the degree of relationship between 15 aspects of students ‘perception vs students’performance, the authors used Pearson Test to review the correspondence for different students’perceptions and passing rate of the online courses. The 15 questions asked in the SPOTS are thefollowing: 1) Description of course objectives and assignments, 2) Expression of expectationsfor performance in this class, 3) Description of grading policies in the course syllabus, 4)Consistency in following the course syllabus, 5) Preparation for class, 6) Use and management ofclass time, 7) Knowledge of course content, 8) Communication of ideas and information, 9)Stimulation of interest in course, 10) Facilitation of learning, 11

“Historical Analysis ofDFQ Rates” presented in the next section. The rates higher than 30% have been of great concernto the MEEN faculty teaching this course. Most engineering departments accept a D letter gradefor successful completion of MEEN 221 for their curriculum; however those students who fail (F)or drop (Q) have to repeat the course which negatively impacts departments’ retention of students;increases cost of education; and delays students’ graduation. High DFW/DFQ rates like the onesin MEEN 221 have also been reported for Statics, Dynamics and other foundational courses inengineering curricula in other studies [1-8]. These studies have implement changes in the coursesthat involve more student-centered learning activities [2,7], online

by the students based on feedbacksolicited by the students. By focusing on the student satisfaction and perceived learning of thematerial, the proposed model is complementary to, and should be used together with, summativeassessment tools (e.g. HW assignments, quizzes, midterm exams, final exam), which explicitlyfocus on quantifying actual student learning in an absolute sense. This complementarity alsorests on the fact that the performance of students in HW assignments and midterm/final exams isclearly associated with their overall satisfaction about the course structure and delivery [10, 11].3 Description of the Proposed Assessment ModelThis model includes four online (3 via Google Forms and 1 via the University online surveysystem

critical to success in follow-up mechanics courses andupper-level engineering courses. Data has been collected on students’ performance onhomework, quizzes and exams, and on the students’ thoughts on learning and course delivery.Thus far, we have concluded that the use of traditional hand-written homework, frequentassessment via quizzes [1], or the Pearson Mastering Engineering [2] software for formativeassessment did not have a significant impact on students’ performance on exams. It was alsoobserved that neither traditional nor online homework scores correlated well with exam scores;however, in-class quizzes did correlate with final exam scores. More recently, using theMastering Engineering Online system, specifically the inclusion of the
