“…Another approach to assessment in thermodynamics is the use of writing to allow students to represent their understanding in their own words and reveal the heterogeneity of their ideas [10], [11]. These written formative assessment give instructors insight into students' thinking by allowing students to generate ideas [12]and to present the heterogeneity of their ideas [13].…”
