These problems can be rectified during the formative phase by carefully selectingand/or creating assessment instruments and conducting a pilot investigation before summativedata is collected. This paper illustrates the formative phase of assessment and how theinformation collected during the formative phase was used to improve the design of a study thatinvestigated an innovative approach to teaching introductory computer science. This work wassupported in part by NSF-03020542.I. IntroductionIn most reported engineering education studies, the emphasis of the discussion concerningassessment is based on summative data.
