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...

E-assessment of computer programming (2018)
Presentation / Conference
Gwynllyw, R., & Smith, J. (2018, September). E-assessment of computer programming. Paper presented at 12th International Symposium on Advances in Technology Education Nurturing Professionals for Smart Cities: Way Forward for Technology Education, Hong Kong

This paper demonstrates how we have used Dewis, an algorithmic open source e-assessment system, to automatically assess programming skills, in particular, in the C programming language. Teaching and assessing programming skills is challenging; prior... Read More about E-assessment of computer programming.

Interactive, evolutionary search in upstream Object-oriented class design (2010)
Journal Article
Parmee, I. C., Simons, C., & Gwynllyw, R. (2010). Interactive, evolutionary search in upstream Object-oriented class design. IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering, 36(6), 798-816. https://doi.org/10.1109/TSE.2010.34

Although much evidence exists to suggest that early life cycle software engineering design is a difficult task for software engineers to perform, current computational tool support for software engineers is limited. To address this limitation, intera... Read More about Interactive, evolutionary search in upstream Object-oriented class design.
