, Authentic Assessment, and Engineering SimulationsThe transfer of learning focuses on the ability to apply knowledge and skills acquired in onecontext to solve problems in different, often real-world, situations [1], [2]. Facilitating thistransfer is essential for preparing students to effectively enter their workplace [3]. This isespecially relevant in the field of engineering as there may be gaps between academic and on-the-job information. However, discussions on how students carry knowledge, skills, andattitudes (KSA) from one module to another, and the research on the transfer of learningfocused from school and work contexts are largely unexplored [4].Studies have uncovered some key elements on effective transfer of learning. These

on Formative Assessments in anIntroduction Programming CourseAbstractFor some faculty, it is an ongoing challenge to design assignments and course policies thatmotivate students to focus on the learning that can come from overcoming challenges. For manystudents, when the stakes are too high or their time is too strained, productive activities arebypassed for strategies that more quickly get to an answer without necessarily exercising criticalthinking skills. A variety of approaches have been taken to encourage students to productivelystruggle on formative assessments and then reflect on their results to further enhance learning [1],[2], [3]. These strategies often come with a tradeoff.The purpose of this work is to share additional
