difficult toreach a definitive conclusion. One result of note is from Bjerkaas and Wolberg [6] who foundthat a mixture of homework and quizzes was more effective at improving student performancethan solely using homework or solely using quizzes. Because of the potential for different typesof students (e.g., 1st-year vs. senior, engineering vs. physics) to have different impacts by howtheir homework performance is assessed, it is important to gather data on specific courses todetermine which type of course might benefit from a particular assessment method.The homework quiz technique used in this study appears to be very similar to that used byJackson and Maughmer [8] in a junior class and a senior class in Aerospace Engineering.
