Item Evaluating student programs by metric analysis(Texas Tech University, 2002-05) Wigner, Joseph AMeasuring student programs is a time-consuming and subjective process. Often TAs and professors find that the task is daunting and are unable to devote sufficient time to grade student programs objectively. Automatic graders and grading helpers have been produced to help solve this problem, but no clear cut mathematical equation has yet been published which adequately measures a program. Static metrics measure the internal attributes of programs and can be combined into a linear model that predicts student grades. Data at Texas Tech University was used to develop such a model. An automated metric-generating tool was used to scan programs and collect the data. Four programming assignments were examined. Two grade-predicting equations were developed for each assignment. The predicted grades were correlated with the actual grades to determine the accuracy of the prediction. The final results were inconclusive, and the importance of measurement verification with the dataset became quite apparent.Item Evaluation of psychometric software for school diagnosticians: a case study(Texas Tech University, 1986-08) Lyle, Cynthia EileenNot available
