CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT WITH FLIPPED LEARNING AND AUTOMATED ASSESSMENT

Abstract

Numerous studies claim that one of the practices that improves student performance is
continuous assessment, since it encourages work on the subject and allows for better class
performance. Often, this continuous assessment is implemented with 1 or 2 partial exams,
which causes an improvement of the performance, but sometimes they become for the
students "early final exams" with the consequent disturbance in the usual preparation of the
semester. In this article, we describe and analyze a method of continuous assessment
implemented in a second-year programming subject of the School of Engineering of the
University of Navarra since the 2016-2017 academic year. Moreover, flipped learning approach
was introduced in the academic year 2019-2020, with the consequent (but slight) modification
of the evaluation method. To implement continuous assessment an automated evaluation tool
has been developed both for quizzes and for the correction of programming exercises. The
result is a continuous work of the student, good grades and satisfaction from both the students
and the teacher.
