Correct for the wrong reason: Why we should know more about mathematical common student errors in e-assessment questions (2023)
Journal Article
Sikurajapathi, B., Henderson, K., & Gwynllyw, R. (2023). Correct for the wrong reason: Why we should know more about mathematical common student errors in e-assessment questions. MSOR Connections, 21(Special Issue: CETL-MSOR Conference 2022 Part 1), 43-51. https://doi.org/10.21100/msor.v21i1

Students may arrive at an incorrect answer when answering a mathematical question due to several reasons, such as random errors, calculation errors or misreading the question. Such errors are sometimes referred to as Common Student Errors (CSEs). Thi...
