Work in progress - ‘Real World Problems’ as assessment of software engineering

This project evaluated the effectiveness of using certification-like real-world problems for regular assessment of student performance in a software engineering content course. The approach utilized the Turning Pointtrade personal response system as a means to present "Real World" software engineering problems and anonymously assess student learning. The preliminary results indicated that the method was not useful for assessment, but may have promise for stimulating discussion and student learning.
