Correct for the wrong reason: Why we should know more about mathematical common student errors in e-assessment questions (2022)
Presentation / Conference
Sikurajapathi, I., Henderson, K., & Gwynllyw, R. (2022, September). Correct for the wrong reason: Why we should know more about mathematical common student errors in e-assessment questions. Presented at Continuing Excellence in Teaching and Learning in Mathematics, Statistics and Operational Research conference (CETL-MSOR-2022), Abertay University, Dundee , Scotland

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). Se...
