I don't think i will pass if I take the real 3.091 without any extra effort.<br />Thank you for sharing this, and i hope you'll have another great experience with another edX course and share it to us!<br />PaulusPaulus Himawanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11290657069715719308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3337729169876127701.post-79811634986874896192013-02-16T10:35:53.241+00:002013-02-16T10:35:53.241+00:00Great, that's very helpful - many thanks!

Quite a lot of (high-...No, not all multiple choice. Quite a lot of (high-school level) math, so many answers had to be numerical. There is an online calculator in the courseware but it does not matter what you use as long as you type in a correct answer. A typical homework has about eight problems, and I gave the figures for the exams above. When you have multiple-choice question, you have a limited number of attempts. For numerical solutions, the homeworks had an infinite number of attempts and exams had seven attempts. They also try to introduce tasks where you give the free-text answers and then self-evaluate but that was in the learning sequences, not homeworks or exams. Perhaps in the future these could be analysed computationally, but for now I don't think the free-text answers are a good idea, especially given that for many students English is not a first language.Kirillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00719435019715182189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3337729169876127701.post-67451924872663322022013-02-16T00:50:36.163+00:002013-02-16T00:50:36.163+00:00Thanks for the link!Thanks for the link!Kirillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00719435019715182189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3337729169876127701.post-66574079640935788912013-02-15T19:08:00.802+00:002013-02-15T19:08:00.802+00:00Thanks for posting this :-) I'm currently tryi...Thanks for posting this :-) I'm currently trying to piece together info from the internet about how different MOOCs are assessed; what format were the homeworks and exams? Were they all multiple choice questions?
