2. BACKGROUND
 Computational Quiz Generation (CQG)

3. NEED FOR SOLUTION? Why?
 Inefficiency of total score to provide enough information.
 Student unawareness to address there weakness.
 Absence of crucial information to make recommendation by instructor.
 Student Interest for the course decreases.

4. RESEARCH QUESTION
Assessment in online learning can be improved by using a personalized
report card.

5. PERSONALIZED REPORT CARD
Feedback
Focus on Loops
using the Link
Book:
Fundamentals of
programming
Practice Tests
at Link

6. METHODOLOGY
Comparative study of student performance using the Report Card in
CQG
Sample size of 400 Students in CSC111 in spring and fall 2014
Survey at the end of the class to measure “Course Experience”

7. EXPECTED RESULTS
• Better Student’s Performance
• Increased Satisfaction for the Course
• Communication bridge between Instructor and the Student

8. LIMITATIONS
• Deployment is hard in non-programming courses
• Reasonable mapping of questions in each section
• Feedback must be coded by the Instructor section-wise before
releasing the quiz
