It provided the time to grade the submissions,to return them to the students, to discuss the solutions in class, and to increase the concept ofanalyzing a project in terms of its economic payback over the life of the project. This last pointis crucial for the future analyses the students will be required to do in supporting their analysesof life-cycle cost analysis (particularly in the area of “green” buildings) during the next threeyears of their education.

Because ofthe sheer volume of items to be graded, instructors were forced to find alternate methods to fullmanual grading. Methods tried for this course include: a) grading one submission at random perweek, b) using highly specific quizzes to elicit correct/incorrect values, c) using the BMpublisher’s assessment tool, SNAP, and d) relying on summative assessments only (no gradingof homework assignments).In the random selection method, a graduate student or teaching assistant reviewed a singledatabase submitted for each student per week.
