underrepresented groups[7, 9, 14, 15, 16].To mitigate student stress, some works address its symptoms by using stress-reduction/copingtechniques during and/or outside of the classroom. Some of these techniques involve mindfulnessactivities, changing students perception of stress, interventions, sending students encouragingemails before exams, etc. [2, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23]. Other works even redesign their wholecurriculum to reduce student stress [24]. It is important to note that most of stress-related researchis focused on medical students and rarely addresses engineering students.In this work, we address the direct causes of student stress in an Electrical and ComputerEngineering (ECE) course at our institution – the Digital Systems course – and

correction method can transform the entire class atmosphere into a learningcommunity. Exams typically serve as a critical assessment function in the engineering area. It is asummative assessment used to evaluate students learning outcomes and is often directly related totheir grades. It also can be treated as a formative assessment that provides students feedback tocorrect their misconceptions and improve their future learning. Unfortunately, the formativeaspect is not widely recognized by our students. This method allows students to see the formativeaspect of taking an exam. In addition, knowing that they will have a second chance will relievelots of stress yield better overall performance when taking the exams.The combination exam offers many

and systems course is required for electrical and computer engineering majors innearly all programs. It usually introduces students to important continuous and discrete time system conceptsand develops and applies Laplace, Fourier and z-transforms. These courses usually do not have laboratories orhands-on activity associated with them. However, these courses are very important because they provide thefoundation for important areas of electrical engineering including circuits, systems, communications, control andsignal processing. Unfortunately, many students do not recognize the relevance of the material at this point in their careersand have difficulty because it appears to be "only math and theory.” The resulting low motivation often

For the evaluation process, students were given regular course notesand textbook recommendations as their main learning materials and used BT as a parallel sourceof information to better facilitate their learning process. After making BT available to students,we surveyed them to receive feedback on the usability, effectiveness, and accuracy of BT.
