A case study in the e-assessment of statistics for non-specialists (2021)
Journal Article
Weir, I. S., Gwynllyw, D. R., & Henderson, K. L. (2021). A case study in the e-assessment of statistics for non-specialists. Journal of University Teaching and Learning Practice, 18(2), Article 5

The need to be able to choose, perform and interpret the results from appropriate statistical tests is ubiquitous in many STEM disciplines and beyond. In this case study, we illustrate a learning and assessment approach that has been used successfull... Read More about A case study in the e-assessment of statistics for non-specialists.

Previous works have established the response and failure behaviour of hybrid (CFRP-GFRP) laminates when subjected to a wide range of destabilising loads. However, to date no works have quantified the influence of selective laminate shapes and hybridi...
