, automated data collection and analysis, timely feedback, and easyupdate. The proposed assessment tool assists instructors to improve classroom instruction, andprovides students opportunities for self-evaluation and quality review of the course materials.The student performance in these online assessment assignments also provides valuable feedbackconcerning the quality, level of difficulty and appropriateness of assessment questions.Consequently, the assessment tool can be dynamically updated and improved during theimplementation phase. In our experiment, the questions designed for use in the web-basedassessment are targeted to specific learning objectives of the introductory circuit analysis course,as specified in the course syllabus. Therefore
