For a long time Electrical Engineering students
at the University of Dar es Salaam had negative attitudes
towards Engineering Electromagnetics course. This is
because the course is heavily loaded with mathematical
concepts. The use of timed assessment was adopted for this
course because it encourages the students to study widely in
an attempt to cover wide range of concepts in the course.
Another reason for using this approach was based on the
consideration that students have to perform equally well in
other courses. The timed assessment tasks are given
frequently to ensure that students’ concentration on the cost
is maintained. This paper presents how the use of timed
assessment has enhanced students’ understanding of the
Engineering Electromagnetics course and contributed to
improved performance in the course. Trend analysis was
conducted for students’ performance in the timed
assessments given to them for the entire period of the course.
This study advocates an increased correlation between the
continuous assessment (coursework) scores and final
examination scores effective from the year when the
extensive use of timed assessment was adopted for the
course. |
