Systems that seek to harvest idle cycles available throughout the Internet are vulnerable to hosts that fraudently accept computational tasks and then maliciously return arbitrary results. Current strategies employed by popular cooperative computing systems, such as SETI@Home, rely heavily on task replication to check results. However, result verification through replication suffers from two po...

We compared the effects of guided lecture notes versus completed lecture notes on pre- to postlecture improvements in quiz performance across two sections of a college course. The results of a counterbalanced multielement design did not reveal consistent differences between the two note formats on students' mean quiz scores. However, fewer errors occurred on complex (analysis-level) quiz questi...

We explored the effects of points versus no points on the submission of homework assignments and quiz performance in a graduate-level course. Students were more likely to submit homework assignments during points weeks, but quiz scores were relatively unaffected.

introduction traditional teacher-centered methods of teaching and learning are passive and affected by teacher's functions and horizons. today, active teaching methods include teaching  students to be able to observe the situation for exploring and thinking deeper about the issue or problem . so the aim of this study is to survey students' views about the advantages of quizzes  in stu...
