“…Additionally, many students who are stressed about their grade or who do not understand the material enough to apply themselves are tempted to utilize online sources or solution manuals from previous classes to achieve a satisfactory grade [2,11]. Surprisingly, perception of solution manual use differs between students and instructors.…”

“…The student must identify how they were correct and incorrect on their initial submission. Where incorrect, students must identify their mistakes and what steps need to be adjusted in their work to arrive at the correct solution [2,3]. The corrected submission is then graded based on accuracy and completion.…”

“…criteria for 2022-2023 [13] With the traditional SSHM, many students look at their grade but rarely refer to their homework for future assignments and exams [4]. Previous studies showing comparisons between the DSHM and SSHM demonstrate that students referred to the homework 52% more frequently for DSHM material compared to SSHM material [2,3]. Students take the time to not only evaluate their work, but to reflect on the material at hand [8].…”

“…Moreover, "metacognition" necessitates that a student contemplates which study habits lead to success and those that enable poor practices [3,4]. Despite this intensive process, students reported spending significantly less time on the DSHM in comparison, while claiming they had a better understanding of the given material [2,3]. Student productivity and engagement increases both in and out of the classroom.…”

Efficacy of the Dual-Submission Homework Method

The dual-submission homework method (DSHM) has become an increasingly popular form of self-assessment in recent years due to its low-stress engagement for students and the reduction of workload on instructors and students alike. However, to date, qualitative studies have been the primary form of investigation to ascertain the effectiveness of the DSHM. The purpose of this study is to investigate, with quantitative data, whether the dual-submission homework method leads to an increase in learning comprehension and retention of the material by the participants involved. Data collected from 59 students enrolled in a sophomore-level Digital Design course for Electrical Engineering majors was the focal point of this study.The single-submission homework method (SSHM) resembles the structure traditionally used in classes. Students are assigned homework, to be submitted once, that will be graded based on accuracy and completion. The DSHM assignment, however, features two distinct portions. Students will complete their initial submission, which is graded based on effort and completion. The solution key for a DSHM assignment is released by the instructor after the initial submission. The students must then submit a corrected version of their initial assignment for the second portion of their homework grade. This corrected submission is then graded on effort, completion, and accuracy as well.Subsequent exams included questions that closely resembled those from the SSHM and DSHM assignments, respectively. Performance measures for this study included grades on homework assignments and exams that were used to accurately measure the results of the DSHM compared to the SSHM. Measured by performance on the aforementioned criteria, ANOVA analysis demonstrated that student performance on DSHM exam-based questions was substantially greater than SSHM exam-based questions. As seen in previous self-assessment studies, feedback from participants and the course instructor indicated significant qualitative advantages to the DSHM; desire for implementation in future courses and the reduction of workload and anxiety about grades for instance. In essence, this study has provided the necessary quantitative and qualitative evidence to indicate, at the very least, that the Dual-Submission Homework Method is not a novelty concept and should be given serious consideration in implementation to the same degree as the traditional single-submission homework method.

Use of phones and online tutors to cheat on engineering exams

There has been an increase in cheating on exams by engineering students using phones. In the past, it was known that students used phones to search for solutions to problems, often from publisher solution manuals. Now, students have been caught taking pictures of exam problems and uploading them to online tutors. The tutors are often located in different parts of the world. It appears a number of tutors are available at any time of the day, and will promptly solve the problem and send the solution back to the requestor. To help instructors, this paper describes this method of cheating. Once this method of cheating was understood, the authors of this paper were able to collect sufficient evidence to pursue scholastic dishonesty charges against students after the semester had ended and after the students had been assigned a passing grade in the class. The recommended sanction for cheating on an exam is a failing grade in the class, hence some students have been shocked to have been caught and then shocked to have to retake a class even after they have progressed to take follow on classes in the engineering program. If faculty understand how a student can cheat using a phone on exams, they are better prepared to deter, detect and prosecute cheaters.
