Data has been collected on students’ performance onhomework, quizzes and exams, and also on the students’ thoughts on learning and coursedelivery. Thus far, we have concluded that the use of traditional hand-written homework,frequent assessment via quizzes [1], or the Pearson Mastering Engineering [2] software forformative assessment did not have a significant impact on students’ performance on exams. Itwas also observed that neither traditional nor online homework scores correlated well with examscores; however, in-class quizzes did correlate with final exam scores.

Though the CATME adjustment factors are often used toadjust team grades upward or downward for individual assignments, in this class formulas areused to convert an "average" peer feedback score into a grade of 85% and a "best possible" peerfeedback score to a grade of 100%. This scaling is identified in the course syllabus, which helpsto calibrate student expectations. All scores are posted to an online grade book visible to thestudents, allowing them to make adjustments in how they interact with their team as the semesterprogresses.The CATME system also allows students to provide private comments to the instructor on howthe team and its individuals were working (or not

These studies used existing technology tools (which were not originally designed tocollect reflections) to capture student reflections. In a similar way, to promote teamwork and evaluate team members behaviors, varioustechnological tools were used, such as online or web-based tools [35]–[37], CAD-based systemsor digital media [38], [39], robotics [40], [41], simulations or virtual labs [42]–[45], and videogames [46]–[49].

How have other universities and faculty used thismethodology? Throughout the course, professors’ views on ideas that arose for their classes,constraints, and restrictions perceived to apply the methodology as well as perceived benefits ofthis methodology for their class were explored through forums.After the introductory online course, the physics course redesign process began with threeparticipating professors (two of them
