The mastery-based approach is employed for theassessments where students are evaluated for how they demonstrated the course mastery objectiveson each assessment in the course. The students solve a single assessment problem every other weekwhere they are asked to organize their solution following the mastery objectives. The masteryobjectives are the key pieces of the solution solving process for every statics problem. The studentsare required to write, draw, or include equation(s) for each objective for each problem, but thework is unique to the type of problem being

where students in the course were composed of 30% female and 70% male. A singlemidterm exam was administered in which students were provided a first tier MCQ with a SRQjustification (JSRQ) for each question (not for each choice). Students wrote a brief explanationthat was later scored on a 5-point Likert scale. The trial used four-choice MCQ-JSRQ items,scored by obtaining the weighted average of both tiers, with the JSRQ accounting for two-thirdsof each question’s weight.Another version of JMCQ was run at Smith College for Fall-2022 a CS1 course (in Python).Smith College is a historically women’s liberal arts college.

Now, a brief look around us shows that the world today is very different to theworld that we, as educators, grew up in just a few decades ago. Up until the early 1970’s,television was still in black and white, and a personal computer was a figment of our 2imagination. Research for class work was done in a library using tedious card catalogs, and termpapers were written, and then re-written, on typewriters using black ink ribbons. Nowadays,students are growing up with digital devices, such as computers, video games
