Abstract

The Common Student Errors Project (CSE Project) has been running at the University of the West of England (UWE, Bristol) since 2017. The main aim of this project is to introduce a method to detect CSEs and to provide tailored feedback in Engineering Mathematics e-Assessment questions. In this case study we briefly describe the process of collecting CSEs related to Engineering Mathematics and delivering personalised enhanced feedback to students who made CSEs on Dewis e-Assessment questions. We then present how we carried out a questionnaire to gather student perceptions on the enhanced feedback they received. Finally, we present the outcomes of the questionnaire data, the conclusions on students’ perceptions of the current enhanced feedback and ascertain possible future directions for further development of the enhanced feedback.
