• Title: Pro-f-quiz: increasing the PROductivity of Feedback through activating QUIZzes
• Authors: Kris Aerts, Wouter Groeneveld
• Abstract summary: We have set up an experiment, titled Pro-f-quiz, in which over two years 236 students participated and in which the feedback is communicated through an online quiz. The results show that approximately 85% of the students appreciate the approach with 60% indicating that they reflect more intensively about their work than when the feedback is transmitted traditionally.

• Abstract: Feedback beyond the grade is an important part of the learning process. However, because of the large student groups, many teachers in higher education are faced with practicalities such as the limited time to prepare and communicate the feedback to individual students. We have set up an experiment, titled Pro-f-quiz, in which over two years 236 students participated and in which the feedback is communicated through an online quiz that activates the students to reflect upon their solution. The system can be set up in a very limited time compared to booking individual time slots. The results show that approximately 85% of the students appreciate the approach with 60% indicating that they reflect more intensively about their work than when the feedback is transmitted traditionally. Moreover, the grade of the students participating in the project was substantially higher than students not participating.

• Enhancing Students' Learning Process Through Self-Generated Tests [0.0]
  This paper describes an educational experiment aimed at the promotion of students' autonomous learning. The main idea is to make the student feel part of the evaluation process by including students' questions in the evaluation exams. Questions uploaded by students are visible to every enrolled student as well as to each involved teacher.

• Using Assignment Incentives to Reduce Student Procrastination and Encourage Code Review Interactions [2.1684358357001465]
  This work presents an incentive system encouraging students to complete assignments many days before deadlines. Completed assignments are code reviewed by staff for correctness and providing feedback, which results in more student-instructor interactions. The incentives result in a change in student behavior with 45% of assignments completed early and 30% up to 4 days before the deadline.

• Scalable Two-Minute Feedback: Digital, Lecture-Accompanying Survey as a Continuous Feedback Instrument [0.0]
  Detailed feedback on courses and lecture content is essential for their improvement and also serves as a tool for reflection. The article used a digital survey format as formative feedback which attempts to measure student stress in a quantitative part and to address the participants' reflection in a qualitative part. The results show a low, but constant rate of feedback. Responses mostly cover topics of the lecture content or organizational aspects and were intensively used to report issues within the lecture.

• Does Starting Deep Learning Homework Earlier Improve Grades? [63.20583929886827]
  Students who start a homework assignment earlier and spend more time on it should receive better grades on the assignment. Existing literature on the impact of time spent on homework is not clear-cut and comes mostly from K-12 education. We develop a hierarchical Bayesian model to help make principled conclusions about the impact on student success.

  Self-training teacher-student frameworks are proposed to improve the robustness of NER models. In this paper, we propose an adaptive teacher learning comprised of two teacher-student networks. Fine-grained student ensemble updates each fragment of the teacher model with a temporal moving average of the corresponding fragment of the student, which enhances consistent predictions on each model fragment against noise.

  During the COVID-19 crisis, educational institutions worldwide shifted from face-to-face instruction to emergency remote teaching (ERT) modalities. We analyzed data on 7,528 undergraduate students and found that cooperative and consensus dynamics among students in discussion forums positively affect their final GPA. Using natural language processing, we show that first-year students with low academic performance during high school are exposed to more content-intensive posts in discussion forums.
