With hundreds of numeric combinations on many problems, students canrepeat a new version of any question until they compute correct answer(s). With over 100 differentquestions, the most difficult spreadsheet skills can be identified from students’ success. Thenumber of attempts before correct and total attempts will complement the percent correct to givemultiple metrics. Over 9,000 questions were attempted by the 2018 cohort and will be analyzedhere. Responses from the 2019 cohort will be compared in the conference presentation.Challenge activity scores varied

Newtonian mechanics [15],visualizing electric circuits [16] and several activities in chemistry [3].Solving apparently simple problems in mathematics can be very challenging as illustrated in astudy by Clement [17] who administered a number of word problems to engineering students.Just under one third of students were able to construct the correct algebraic equation from thefollowing statement (using C to represent the number of cheesecakes and S the number ofstrudels): “At Mindy’s restaurant, for every four people who ordered cheesecake, there are fivepeople who ordered strudel.” Such high error rates in problem solving can be exacerbated bychanging the problem phrasing. For example, Hegarty, Mayer & Green [18] found thatrephrasing a simple

They recommend building these kinds of rubrics from the outside in– that is, for each criterion, describe the highest standard level, then the lowest standard level,and then fill in the middle level(s). They note that this kind of rubric becomes more difficult togenerate with the more levels one desires. Stevens and Levi also present what they call a“scoring guide rubric,” which focuses more on the criteria and presents only the description ofthe highest standard level. Exploration of the use of rubrics in chemical engineering has beenpresented previously. Newell et al. [3] suggest applying four standards levels, rather than three orfive, to avoid there being a middle or “neutral” option.MethodsDevelopment and Implementation of
