Impact of Auto-evaluation Tests as Part of the Continuous Evaluation in Programming Courses
The continuous evaluation allows for the assessment of the
progressive assimilation of concepts and the competences that must be
achieved in a course. There are several ways to implement such contin uous evaluation system. We propose auto-evaluation tests as a valuable
tool for the student to judge his level of knowledge. Furthermore, these
tests are also used as a small part of the continuous evaluation process,
encouraging students to learn the concepts seen in the course, as they
have the feeling that the time dedicated to this study will have an assured
reward, binge able to answer correctly the questions in the continuous
evaluation exams. New technologies are a great aid to improve the auto evaluation experience both for the students and the teachers. In this
research work we have compared the results obtained in courses where
auto-evaluation tests were provided against courses where they were not
provided, showing how the tests improve a set of quality metrics in the
results of the courseMinisterio de Economía y Competitividad TIN2017-88209-C2-
