showedan increase in student engagement. However, it was inconclusive whether the homeworkcompletion grade was affected by the pedagogy. The results also showed that the homework hada weak positive correlation with exam performance.The present paper further aims to assess the efficacy of the pedagogy by examining studentengagement and student performance across multiple cohorts of the course. Learningmanagement system tools, like chat and polling, were previously shown to be effectivequalitative methods for overcoming the passive learning behavior exhibited by EFL students.Thus, a comparison by cohort and in aggregate were performed for the following: studentparticipation at each synchronous Q&A session using the chat feature, student polling

instructor'soverall impression of a student can skew the grading of individual pieces of work, eitherfavorably or unfavorably. This phenomenon is not merely an academic concern; it has tangibleimpacts on student outcomes, contributing to significant grade discrepancies that can alter thetrajectory of a student's academic and professional future.Moreover, the psychological impact of these traditional assessment methods on students cannotbe overstated. The anxiety associated with how an instructor perceives their work can affectstudents' performance, often irrespective of their actual academic capabilities or understanding ofthe subject matter. This anxiety is not just a by-product of the high stakes involved but is linkedto the fear of subjective bias in
