Data collectedfrom these anonymous surveys provided real-time formative feedback that helped faculty to reactjust in time to address issues related to student learning process. In addition to providingcontinuous feedback, this process has also shown to help students develop their metacognitiveknowledge and therefore become more responsible towards their academic success. It alsohelped the instructor to understand the cognition profile of the student cohort to ultimately adaptthe course content, pedagogy, and assessment to achieve an optimal learner-centric environment.The effectiveness of this approach was verified by assessing the students’ performance in pre andpost exams.

For faculty, one issue is the time ittakes for creation of repositories, although we have created some tools to semi-automate the task.Another faculty issue is retrieval of work products for review and grading. This can be alleviatedby using conventions for repository locations.Four years ago, several practices were adopted in one of the SE courses with the intent onincreasing success rates1. These practices included specific work plans, periodically monitoredtime logs, and periodically monitored version control check-ins.
