Abstract
Wrappers are defined as a “short form that students complete along with an assignment or exam that focuses on the learning process rather than on the content itself.” In this study, students are asked to state the perceived “effort,” the amount of time spent completing or studying for respective assessments and their preparedness to complete both formative and summative assignments in an Electrical Engineering (SCADA Systems and Design) and Mechanical Engineering (Dynamics) class. As expected, scores on formative assessments are mildly correlated with summative assessments. However, results indicate that time spent studying for summative assessments is not correlated to the summative assessment scores.
