Many of the problemsproduced in the second semester were slight variations on problems already found in the textbookor done in class, so that there appeared to be minimal effort put into developing them. While theymay have had some benefit for students to work through, the benefit to the students creating themwas questionable. This project type was no longer permitted after the second semester of theproject. One example of a three-problem exam problem project that received a high course gradeand has been received well by students in later iterations of the class is presented in Figure 1.

More than halfof the students had grades of A/B on those questions. The number of views was much lower andvaried relative to the average score (see Figure 3).One reason that the students watch these is that I ask them to watch them before setting up anappointment to discuss the exam. Most students find that they can cancel their appointment withme at this point. The time savings varies based on the size of the class, but I estimate that, foreach exam, I save two to three hours in office visits to go over their work.
