across the other course requirements, which included three exams, 6quizzes and 3 projects. Homework sets were designed to provide students with practice applyingconcepts and problem-solving strategies to help prepare them for the exams. The first two examsconsisted of two versions (A and B), each having the same problems with various dimension andload values changed. Students in each section randomly received either an A version or a Bversion. The third exam was taken by all students at the same time in the same room. The examconsisted of two versions but with the same problems presented in a different order. The samethird exam had been used over the years until recently, when a change needed to be made due toa security breach. A similar exam

A thematic analysis of students’ perspectives and opinions on the construction of exam support sheets Shant A. Danielian, Vikram R. Arun, Natascha T. BuswellAbstractWith large amounts content and material taught by university professors and instructors, studentsface difficulty in trying to memorize course content in order to perform well on exams. Toresolve this issue, professors often allow students to create and use support sheets, also known ascheat sheets or crib sheets, which contain useful information to aid them during an exam. Thiseases the burden of rote memorization and might reduce student stress or anxiety during theexam.The creation of the support sheet lies in the hands of the
