To date, outcomes have been assessed for bothstudent groups through direct comparison of homework grades and through student surveys. In futureiterations of this work it is proposed that the results of common examinations also be used to determinewhich strategy optimizes individual student performance.2 BackgroundThis study describes the results of student outcomes under varying homework assessment strategies inEGR 102: Introduction to Engineering Modeling.
