Online Evaluation Methodology of Laboratory Sessions in Computer Science Degrees

This paper presents a proposal for assessing the laboratory sessions of a subject of the first year in computer science degrees. This methodology is based on online short-answer exam questions related to the concepts studied in each session. After analyzing the academic results of a large group of students, we may conclude that this way of evaluating knowledge is precise. The obtained grades neither underestimate nor overestimate the student's work, being similar to the ones achieved in a final exam. Moreover, there is continuous feedback, which allows the teacher to go into detail about those aspects of the subject that students have not understood.
