Abstract

Evaluating individual students is especially difficult in a Directed Project course because the content is dictated by the projects rather than by a fixed syllabus. By merging the evaluation process with the project management tasks, and by using prepared checklists for peer, task, and meeting evaluations, students working in a group may be evaluated as individuals and the same grading criteria may be applied to all students even though they are working on different projects.

Examining the predictive relationship between personality and emotion traits and students' agent-directed emotions: towards emotionally-adaptive agent-based learning environments

The current study examined the relationships between learners' ($$N = 123$$N=123) personality traits, the emotions they typically experience while studying (trait studying emotions), and the emotions they reported experiencing as a result of interacting ...
Evaluating students in systems development group projects

Evaluating students in group projects is difficult. Both the end products of the group and the individual contributions of each group member must be evaluated in a fair manner. This paper will describe a set of evaluation procedures for a systems ...
